You would think that a public agency has an obligation to craft regulations
that can understood by the vast majority of the people affected. You would
be wrong of course.
Not to impugn the FAA too severely; they write a lot of regulations and most
are pretty readable. But there are some that are obviously written by
committee; and I suppose, meant to be read by one too. Usually someone on
the committee knows the real poop and so the words are just sort of
scrambled around then thrown into a document when they smell about right.
Nobody reads this stuff. Here's another example (I swear it's true):
"Sec. 23.1395 No position light intensity may exceed the applicable values
in the following equal or exceed the applicable values in 23.1389(b)(3):"
Ayn Rand: "Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr.
Ferris. "We want them to be broken.... There's no way to rule innocent men.
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.
Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so
many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without
breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in
that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed
nor enforced or objectively interpreted and you create a nation of
law-breakers and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr.
Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be
much easier to deal with." ('Atlas Shrugged' 1957)

<Bill, if running the radio on a separate battery made the noise
go away, then a 14v supply filter as suggested earlier is in order.>

Thanks Bob. I've got the parts for making the filter and will start
there first. Looks like I'm going to have to send the radio to
Australia so it might be a while till I can see what effect the filter
will have. Thanks again.

| Subject: | Avionics breaker |
--> AeroElectric-List message posted by: "Ken Simmons" <ken@truckstop.com>
My flying Glastar has a "conventional" electrical system with an avionics master
switch and solenoid. I guess for fault tolerance reasons there is also a separate
"aux avionics switch" with a separate breaker that can bypass the avionics
solenoid and feed the avionics bus directly.
This seems to add a level of complexity that provides very little if any benefit.
There are only three pieces of avionics, a GNC250XL(10A), a GTX320(3A) and
an intercom(1A). The aux avionics breaker is 15 Amps.
As they say "if it ain't broke don't fix it". In this case I'm not trying to fix
it, I'm trying to add a Trutrak autopilot and I'm trying to figure out the best
way to wire in the power. The quickest would be to feed it separately from
the main bus and not use the avionics bus. The most complex would be to re-wire
the entire plane using a Z-drawing type configuration. I'm looking for a in-between
solution, preferably closer to the first idea.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ken

I think that you should wire it directly to the main bus with a switch
and the rated breaker or fuse. You need the switch in case you have an
'insane' autopilot.

I don't care what they say, a man who can quote Ayn Rand can't be all bad.
