Hey guys,
I have been trying to rig the cargo ramp, and I've run into some issues; I have completed the internal rig and external rig on the ramp. Locks 10 are both raised one shim to keep the load on them, but unfortunately locks l/h 2 and r/h 4 are engaged (raising the ramp by 1/4 -1/2 ") even though they have no vertical shims installed. I realize that simply adding a couple more shims to locks 10 would probably solve the issue,. BUT the ramp has now started to raise the door up.
Can't seem to add any more to 10, and can't take any away.
Maybe I'm missing something simple.

Hey guys
Our rudder utility pressure is reading 2800psi with flaps down. The EDHP's on #1 and #2 are both putting out 3000psi. It's only 200psi but I need to find out why we're losing that pressure. I've tried changing out the transmitter with no luck (zeroed correctly). Thought there may be an issue with the diverter valve not opening fully - still no luck. All the other transmitters on the left hand side all read approx 3000psi with a clear drop at the rudder. Any ideas would be great.

Hey Robert,
How many pounds or fuel are you transferring while the drain is on? Do you hear the pump cavitating at 10 minutes or before?
