Cracking the bleed screw will eliminate everything apart from the caliper . If brakes are still dragging then u know it's a caliper problem. It will be a simple fix. Pretty basic brake setup.

they are just pointing out a bad week in aviation in that part of the world.

Systemic overload: A crisis-filled weekend in Indian skies the Indian aviation sector endured a barrage of operational crises following the Air India crash. Within just 36 hours, four separate in-flight emergencies were reported, raising widespread concerns about preparedness and safety culture. On June 16, an Air India Express flight to Ranchi returned to Delhi after technical issues were detected shortly after takeoff. That same day, an Air India flight from Hong Kong to Delhi had to turn back due to a suspected technical snag. Air India later confirmed the Boeing 787 aircraft landed safely and was being inspected as a precaution. In yet another episode, a Lufthansa flight enroute to Hyderabad from Frankfurt turned back after a bomb threat was received mid-air. Passengers were safely screened upon return and investigations are underway. Meanwhile, a British F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing in Kerala due to low fuel—prompting full emergency protocols at Thiruvananthapuram Airport. Although none of these incidents resulted in injuries, the sheer number and timing have amplified public anxiety and tested the resilience of operational frameworks

condolences to anyone in the group who may have known the pilot.

An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash has been launched by the Sports Aviation Federation of Australia.

must have been a powered parachute. it says safa are investigating.

should be good now
-
good stuff. used to come with caliper kits. anti sieze is good too.
-
you threw us off at the start when u said the calipers were sliding ok. antisieze is fine. it has a high temp tolerance .

Last week I had a look at a citation mustang that was at sale for the day. The pilot said he is limited to 2 passengers with full fuel. Expensive ride at 450 lph for 2 people.

I. Don't think this is serious. That's why it is in the jokes thread

Unless the master cylinders are not fitted correctly I would be surprised if it's not a sticky caliper piston. Do as blue says and crack the bleed nipple to rule out hyd pressure. If it's still tight it's the piston

i had an electric carb heat on my jab powered xair. i doubt if it would have helped start the motor, they don't heat up that much ,also i would not want to draw extra current before start up. My battery was marginal because of the long battery cable run. started on frosty mornings no problem at all. as others have said, you must be at idle position to enrich the fuel mix. even cracking the throttle a little bit will prevent starting.

When you own Honda road bikes you learn about sticky brake pistons
-
I think you will find a tight piston. . Can you push the piston In by hand
-
there is a video of an earlier flight with a passenger saying the air conditioning was not working or the entertainment systems. don't know if that would indicate other faults
-
It takes a lot. Have a look at the roll Royce test videos on YouTube

There is a clear video that shows the rat and you can hear it. There are no dead birds on the runway so the Indian officials have ruled out birds
-
What can cause 2 engines to fail . This is one scenario being discussed because the rat deployed. It will be very interesting to know what happened especially a dual engine failure if that happened.

I will pm you the number of the bloke that owns sapphire aircraft. He is in Bendigo. I don't know if he will part with tube but there's a good chance he will. I don't think he is building sapphires now. He had 5 inch tube new.
-
You're right. I apologise for my silly comments. Can you stop now. Thanks

new airvan going into production

The old model has a good reputation so you would think it would be even better with a turbo prop. The ag plane they started with were pawnees that they modified and became known as the Fatman .
