    Subject: SL30 Comm Failure message
    Just for the record, at the suggestion of the Apollo guys in Salem, I re-racked it and, it could be my imagination but the display seemed to get brighter. Of course I couldn't duplicate the comm failure message before or after the re-rack so there is no way to be sure but I just got back from a long cross country without any problems. So it's fixed for now. At the next opportunity, I'll check the dsub connectors on the back end for a snug fit. I bought the SL30 new in 2001. I was surprised to find the original Apollo crew still at work in Salem, OR. After Garmin took over they actually doubled their workforce. jb -----Original Message----- From: owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-aeroelectric-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of John Brick Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2010 6:31 PM Subject: RE: AeroElectric-List: SL30 Comm Failure message Nope, no internal battery.

The 480 does and it gives out some messages when it starts to go bad. Call the Garmin AT tech support people and ask them. They are great folks - like Apollo/UPS.

    Subject: Whither Aviation OFF TOPIC
    First of all it has always been my belief that Aviation is Aviators Aviating - not airlines, nor manufacturers nor for the most part, magazines. Aviation is simply pilots flying. Any other reference to the term is merely parasitic - making money on the shoulders of others. Now to the point: I suggest you dial in "Flying Cheap" on PBS - I watched an article on typing "PBS Buffalo - flying cheap" into Google. Perhaps there are better ways unknown to me. The title is typically bad grammar, but the content is revealing. We all know that many professions (and I call flying several hundred people through the air - professional - as it is professed publicly) in fact sqweeze the regulations, fight to relieve the regulations, lie to regulators - or manage to pervert proper behaviour without any regulations. I don't need to suggest which. Most of the time we can't act on the knowledge of these transgressions; sometimes there are penalties, legal threats, etc. After 60-odd years in the air, I am compelled to draw attention to the squalid conditions under which new flyers are forced to work. I am ashamed of the industry - commercial aviation - which granted me such freedom and responsibility while continuing to grant less and less to those who follow. Love of flying is probably one of the most common qualities drawing people to the craft. That fact is not lost on present-day executives and they continue to lie, cheat and steal the very standards, gnawing away at one principle or another until the calling is a trash-heap. Your review of the above topic I hope will I hope convince you of my beliefs. With two sons, ex-military, now flying several hundred passengers a day I am thankful that most of the practices outlined in the series have not touched them. In my case, and in one son's event with a now-extinct carrier, we came into conflict on the principles of a government regulation on time on duty and at the controls. In both cases, the disruption in service delayed some of my passengers - simply because a low-level minion winked at the law and then attempted to blame us. In my airline (a major) the flight supervisor made a swift defence of my actions although the miscreant didn't pay for his deeds. In my son's case the British-owned subsidiary attempted to demand a seventeen-hour day on a fifteen hour limit. He was downgraded but never left the captain's seat (at the hands of his immediate supervisors. he sued for the pay and an apology. They settled out of court but never admitted the sin. They folded and he had a Captain's job the following morning with a better line. Se what "Flying Cheap" does for your thoughts. - My apologies for this. Ferg

    Subject: Any ideas on two minute delayed off
    From: "rparigoris" <rparigor@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
    Hi group. Working on our gear warning system that needs to address needs for both powered flight and soaring flight we have design one that does pretty good. However we need a devise that can silence horn for approx. two minutes. In other words by switching a momentary switch power to horn will be killed for two minutes. Needs to be able to handle 500 mA @ 14.4 volts. Something small and reliable like a delayed off relay, or?? Any ideas, and where to purchase would be appreciated. Thx.
