  1. Because zipper suits cannot figure out how to sit down and pee that is why FS737 is so corroded and sloping longerons get changed, they keep missing that big ass urinal opening!!! Talon II's still have active! urinals at FS245

  2. Section 4 of the -1 says.

    Under a continuous breathing condition the pressure should read 295 to 315 psi.

    MA-1 portable oxygen system duration schedule

    (300 PSIG INITIAL, 50 PSIG FINAL, DISCHARGE PRESSURES)

    The converters have a history of coming out of rebuild with issues before. I have seen them change 4 convertors to fix the pressure and build up problem before.

    I'm sure you will get more info from this site. Make sure you tell them build pressure valves have also been changed and

    it's a two bottle system.

    the Job guides and GS should be changed to match the dash 1

  3. t35, Many moons ago had an identical squawk on my A model. Like you we replaced the drive motor, several times. We were deployed, with the acft. flying almost every day. After the first couple of sorties with inop tabs our aircrews begain to get nervous and jerky, and rightfully so. Sooo my assistant crew chief and I decided it was time to take drastic action. We ordered left and right teleflex cables and tab jackscrews. In essance we replaced everything that moved from the actuator cp out. Once we received the parts, on Saturday morning we removed one elevator and replaced drive cables and jackscrews. We only did one side so as to avoid the requirement for FCF. The acft. flew the next day ok. So the following day we did our thing on the other side. From that day on never had another elev. trim tab writeup. Which part was the culprit? Can't say for sure, but my guess was the teleflex outer covering was broken allowing water intrusion. Why did we overkill and change everything? Because only wanted to remove the elevators once.

    I agree with Larry. Change them all when it's apart. While in Alaska our H1's were having consistent elevator trim problems in the late summer. We found a drop or two of water in the drive cable would not allow them to spin. They were a time change for us then, but we had them added to the PDM work spec for them to be changed then (more frequent) and our problems became nonexistent.

  5. Disconnect the leg between the torquemeter pickup and the engine firewall. The firewall and the wing splice (that does mean taking the leading edge off). Then from wing splice to flight deck. Check the connectors then the wires with the Eclypse Plus tester or Fluke meter. We found the splices at FS245 bad and replaced them. This was for a fluxing gauge.

  6. We used GUST locks on the aircraft if it cannot be hangared during high winds. They are wider than the the locks used to secure the flight controls during maintenance.

    The subbing action does not last very many cycles
