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.

Nope, no internal battery. Will try to contact tech support tomorrow.
Thanks,

Does it have an 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.

Subject: | Any ideas on two minute delayed off |
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.
Ron Parigoris
