Interesting article fd. Thanks for Posting. Nev

50 inches MP is only 20 inches of boost at sea level. Approx 10 Psi. Nev

That was rectified wasn't it? It doesn't matter if Avgas is not going to be continued.. Nev

Why wouldn't all pilots welcome More Quality assurance. You put the best Oils and tires in/on your vehicles don't you.? Anyhow the Industry will require it on safety grounds as they are required to do probably by ICAO to meet World Standards.. RAAus might apply for a dispensation but perhaps that could be used by their detractors to label them as "anything goes"and lacking responsible safety concerns. Again, I'm just the Messenger. Not someone who will only say what you want to Hear. Nev

Accurate GPS height would be fine. Whatever is used, vertical separation must be based on the same data. Nev

You haven't heard of anyone having a problem with fuel in their vehicles KG? T510, Why worry about the random capitals? That's not the REAL issue Here. It's about being able to have a sensible discussion on serious Matters, on THIS Forum lately. Reliable quality control for Aviation Fuel is a recognized problem World wide. . A standard was going to have to be set by the Aviation Authorities before Avgas becomes unavailable Supervised/controled in much the same way as Avgas was and Avtur still is to the delivery point. Aviation fuel tankers are nothing like the ones that transport Motor fuels everywhere. They are much more sophisticated. The Biological additives in Avtur make it unsafe for your skin to come in contact with. A PIC's duty, defined by Law, is to operate the Plane in the Most safe manner possible . Nev

What utter BS. Skip.Using words liken Bleat and Illusions, should NOT be needed to makea CASE. Haven't you ever had DUD fuel in your car? I have and know of many more where a lot of damage and expense resulted, In a Plane it would have been a lot more serious. Maybe FATAL? The authority would be negligent in the Circumstances IF it didn't act to Verify the Product. Your Obsession with saving a few Cents here and there is clouding your Logic. Safety is Improved where the Product QUALITY is More certain. . Is that NOT so? Nev

How about a reply. T510? Is it a Laughing Matter? I wouldn't think so. Nev

Anyone can Fiddle with "ordinary" fuel sold at the Pump. STRICT conditions apply to Aviation use Products. It's done under the" release note" Principle. Fake it and you'd be liable. Let's say you are operating commercially or just carrying someone or crash- Land on a House and you don't use it and come to grief. Maybe you lose YOUR House. Don't shoot ME . I'm only the Messenger. Nev

It IS NOT the same product, Skip. One has quality assurance. It depends on YOUR attitude to Safety as to what value that has for YOU. Would you like your Brand of anything to come in an Unsealed tin? Nev

Below 10,000 feet you use an accurate QNH or all your vertical separation minimums etc, would be in error. Nev

For cold places, it's the recommended oil. It's thickened by using Polymers, which have a finite Life but the usual oil change periods cover that. Nev

That's even worse.. Smaller planes are OK with the Pavement but where did the reserves Go? Nev

Also it's getting to be a throw away world. A lot of stuff is made to be unrepairable. Nev

Factory Jabiru recommended Winter Plug Gap is .020". Nev
