    Subject: Re: Burned out switch
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: Vern Little <rv-9a-online@telus.net> Many power supplies, especially switching regulator types, exhibit what's called 'negative resistance'. This means that if the input voltage to these power supplies increases, the power supply input current decreases. These types of power supplies do not work well when powered from a source that has a high resistance... such as a malfunctioning switch. In fact, they will oscillate quite nicely in certain conditions-- producing oscillating current and voltage at the input side... which can really mess up other devices tied to the input bus. I had to deal with this problem on power supplies that I designed for a nuclear research facility (Cyclotron). I would expect that the Whelen strobe power supply does not oscillate under these conditions due to conservative design, but they still will exhibit the inverse relationship between input voltage and input current, and can therefore lead to higher than rated input currents as the source voltage drops... and pop the breaker. As a side note: This also proves that there is rarely a 'nuisance trip' of a circuit breaker... it was trying to tell me something was not right. In the end, the wiring was fine, but the terminals, switch and circuit breaker were all toasted. BTW, a new switch, terminals and breaker and everything is now working fine.

If you decrease the voltage to the power supply (subject to the lower operating limit), the current increases in order for it to generate the same strobe output power. > > If you are referring to a strobe power supply designed for 14V/28V, well then yes we do have a different story. Whelen is like that, but I just now put a 4.0 A Whelen PS on the electronics bench, and the 4.0V spec is apparently peak current, which occurs in a very brief spike. At 12.3V, that spike is 4.5A, and mostly below 4.0 through the up/down cycle. At 14.1V, it is within spec at brief peak. For a 7A Whelen supply, that predicts to no more than an extra 1.0 amp at peak run off batt only, verses charging voltage. If we then look at the trip curves of a breaker, we will see that a 10A breaker (presume you have that) does not trip instantly at 10A, or even a notable amount above that, except after many seconds lapsing. So whats causing your problem such as to burn up fast-ons, I dont know.

They recommend a radio shack bridge rectifier (part number 276-1183) and a DPDT relay (275-206) to allow the normal trim to work even when the altitude hold is engaged. I vaguely recall someone selling a little kit with a the stuff needed so that the pilot and co-pilot can use the trim without having to switch manually. I assume this must be the same thing. Anyone have any links to this product? I'd like to see if it either has better packaging or other features that might be useful. Thanks, Mickey -- Mickey Coggins http://www.rv8.ch/ #82007 finishing

    Subject: Small audio jack question
    I bought an Intercom that allows two music inputs (one for the kids, one for the grownups). I bought small sockets from Radio Shack. They expect the usual "tip-ring-sleeve" 3-contact arrangement. But looking at the male jack on an electronic device I own, it has 4 contact surfaces on the male pin. So what's the forth one for and will I need it? Many thanks Neil

Wondering if you have what's called a "closed circuit" jack intended to disconnect a "primary" load (like built in speaker) when the "secondary" load (like headphones) is plugged in. A schematic for such a jack is attached. It has a total of 5 connections right and left inputs, right and left outputs, plus ground. f6e8ad.jpg Does this look like it matches your jack?

    Subject: Re: FAA Part 91.205
    --> AeroElectric-List message posted by: <bakerocb@cox.net> 10/09/2006 Hello Rob, The FAA has a back hand way of applying FAR Sec 91.205 to Amateur Built Experimental Aircraft (ABEA) and it takes a little research and careful reading of different documents to sort out what applies when. First, if you are operating the ABEA day VFR then none, I repeat NONE, of 91.205 applies to the instrumentation or equippage of that aircraft. (See Note 1 below). Hard to believe isn't it, but that is true because as you noted 91.205 applies to aircraft with standard category US airworthiness certificates and not to our ABEA's that instead receive special airworthiness certificates. (This is what permits very simple ABEA's like a Woody Pusher or Breezy to fly legally day VFR with nothing in the way of 91.205 instruments or equipment if the builder / pilot chooses to do so). Second, the instant that you start operating that ABEA at night or under IFR then 91.205 comes into play, not to the entire extent (See Note 2 below) that it does for aircraft with standard airworthiness certificates, but compliance with 91.205 for ABEA's does become extensive. Why is that? It is because each ABEA has been issued a special airworthiness certificate that includes a set of Operating Limitations that contain these words "After completion of Phase I flight testing, unless appropriately equipped for night and/or instrument flight in accordance with 91.205, this aircraft is to be operated under VFR, day only." The intent and interpretation by the FAA of that sentence is that if the ABEA is operating VFR at night then paragraphs 91.205 (b) and (c) must be complied with. If the ABEA is operating under IFR then paragraphs 91.205 (b), (c), and (d) must be complied with. (I suppose that some sea lawyer could argue that for day IFR one would not have to comply with 91.205 (c) (1) and thereby not comply with 91.205 (b), but that is not the way that the FAA interprets the word "appropriately" in that sentence in the Operating Limitations.) Because this subject is a bit convoluted I have put together a table that lays the information out in fairly compact reference form. I will send you a copy of this table attached to a separate email. If anyone else would like a copy just email me. This table was also published on page 50 of the June 2006 issue of Kitplanes magazine. Please let me know if you have any questions. OC -- The best investment we will ever make is in gathering knowledge Note 1: While 91.205 (b) (15) may not apply that does not excuse an ABEA from complying with 91.207 regarding ELT's. Note 2: Certain sub paragraphs of 91.205 refer to needing "approved" items. This issue becomes a bit fuzzy because since there are no certification criteria published for ABEA how can one determine whether an item is "approved" or not for installation in an ABEA? A commonly taken position both by many builders and by FAA and DAR initial airworthiness inspectors of ABEA's is that if the item can affect operations by other aircraft as well as the ABEA, such as exterior lighting for example, then an item which has been approved for installation on standard airworthiness certified aircraft will be required on the ABEA. On the other hand arguments have been successfully made that if the item affects only the internal functioning of the ABEA, such as seat belts and shoulder harnesses for example, then these items do not have to be "approved" (by a TSO marking for example). I have been involved in a few of these discussions and, with the aid of communication from FAA headquarters, have forced the inspector to back off the TSO marking requirement for both seat belts and shoulder harness which were already purchased and installed by the builder. I do not recommend letting it get to that point though. Instead I recommend coordinating with the inspector before the belts are purchased to determine his individual requirements. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob" <punchy@frontiernet.net> Sent: Monday, October 09, 2006 1:07 PM Subject: FAA Part 91.205 OC, I was wondering if you could clearify FAA Part 91.205 for me. As I understand this FAR it applies to powered civil aircraft with a standard category U.S. airworthiness certificate. Is our experimental airworthiness certificate under this catagory? It requires a manifold pressure gauge for each altitude engine. It does not require a CHT or EGT. This does not seem right for experimental aircraft. I would much rather have a CHT and EGT than a manifold pressure gauge although I have all three on my KIS. I was also wondering if my VFR day only plane needs to have a strobe and nav lights? Maybe you could enlighten me. Thanks, Rob

The reference to an "altitude engine" requires a study of FAR 1.1 to see that it means "a reciprocating aircraft engine having a rated takeoff power that is producible from sea level to an established higher altitude." I.e. it means a turbo-charged or super-charged engine. Anyone who has such an engine really should have a MP gauge, whether FAR 91.205 applies to them or not. Kevin Horton Ottawa, Canada
