HI KIDS. Well, I hadn't flow triple two in about 2 weeks and it is going to
be raining hear for the foreseeable future, so I decided to go around the
patch. Great TO, man I love those engines!! Rolled the gear out from under
her ad climbed smartly into a strong east wind.
When it was time to land I called for the gear and noticed the left
main was a little sleepy, went for flaps and at 1/3 they stopped. Checked
the hyd press, "0."
I looked at the home drome and decided that landing on 2300 feet, over
the trees with "maybe" brakes was not the wisest choice so I flew to
Troutdale, OR, just across the river. Landed without incedent and bumed a
ride home. Still don't know what is wrong, Hyd fluid is everywhere in the
left nacelle.
Oh well........jb

Sheesh! Glad you and your plane are OK. One of my commercial driver
buddies (FedEx DC-10) talks about looking at the HYDRAULIC press
*constantly* on approach...it's something I've tried to incorporate in
my scan, both before and after the gear come down. However, it's a
little different going around the patch, especially in 680E where by the
time you turn downwind it's already time for the gear! So, I'm not
pickin' on you, JB! :) Anyway, I know most of you already do this, but
I thought I'd just add it for consideration.
I flew my 680E today as well (musta been something in the
atmoshphere!). Flew a triangle "cargo" run from Chino to Torrance to
Whiteman (Burbank) and back to Chino. TOA is a noise sensitive airport
and they'll fine you if you ring their little noise sensors too much.
Man, a max. performance TO in a 680E is something to behold. I pulled
the nose off at 90 knots (red line plus 10) and kept it there. The
result? A 2200 fpm sustained climb! Well, sustained until I pulled the
power off for noise abatement....but even at 2700 R's and 35 in. MAP and
90 knots, I was still doing well over 1000 fpm....man I love the
performance of that airplane.
Hey, on another topic, are there any ex-military fighter or SOP guys
among us? If so, All Red Star is putting on a simulated air war
scenario in the desert in Feb. If you're interested in participating as
a WSO/instructor, please contact me off list.
Cheers,
Barry

Hope it is just a loose line.
