    Subject: Long body commanders?
    --> Commander-List message posted by: "Robert S. Randazzo" <rsrandazzo@precisionmanuals.com> Commanders- I've been asked to performa a small research project related to the autopilot that we are working to have STC'd for the commander fleet, and I've been asked for a few fleet numbers. I need some help as follows: -> Which of the 680 series commanders are long-body airplanes like the 685/690, etc? -> Anyone have handy numbers as to how many of the long-body 680 and 685 airplanes are still active in service? -> Anyone have handy numbers as to how many 690 - 1000 series commanders are in service? Thanks, guys... I am working to convince the firm that they really should look to incorporate the entire commander line in their STC efforts so that we can have access to a new, lightweight digital autopilot for all commanders... I'll keep you posted on my efforts. Robert Randazzo

Robert, Sir Barry will undoubtedly have the stats on how many of each airframe are in service. As for models of long bodies, I'll toss out the following: AC-680FL AC-680FL(P) AC-680T,V,W (turbine) AC-681 (turbine model) AC-685 AC-690, A,B,C,D (turbine) AC-695, A,B (turbine) They're all underType Certificate 2A4: (TCDS 2A4 Rev 46 Twin Commander Aircraft Corporation I think the bottom line is the potential market for the long bodies and that equals number on airframes with old Bendix/Motorola or Collins autopilot systems. Good luck and thanks for blazing the trail. Wing Commander Gordon

    Subject: Re: Long body commanders?
    --> Commander-List message posted by: "Barry Collman" <barry.collman@air-britain.co.uk> Hi Robert, The Wing Commander obviously listed all the long-body Commanders. My database shows the following numbers of each of those Models. The first figure is those on the US Register and to the best of my knowledge, still 'active'. It might be prudent to use say 90/95% of these figures to allow for those that are not 'active' in the true sense of the word. The second figure is for those registered elsewhere in the World. It might be prudent to use say 85/90% of these figures, as it is very difficult to get good information from certain areas, such as South America. Piston Models: 680FL - 38 / 34 680FLP - 10 / 5 685 - 29 / 12 Turbine Models: 680T - 2 / 0 680V - 20 / 9 680W - 13 / 8 681 - 18 / 26 690 - 17 / 34 690A - 102 / 89 690B - 121 / 73 690C - 55 / 50 690D - 13 / 18 695 - 29 / 43 695A - 33 / 50 695B - 10 / 3 Before anyone says "Not right, matey", these figures include Models converted to another Model. So, although only 8 695B's were built, my figures include another 6 that were converted from 695A. Similarly, the 680T figure is low as many were converted to 680V. Regrettably, I will be unable to accept any legal liability if these figures are proved to be wrong. In any event, "her indoors" has all the money ;-) Very Best Regards, Barry ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 5:37 PM | --> Commander-List message posted by: "Robert S.

    Subject: Long body commanders?
    WCG- My "ultimate goal" is to convince them that it is worth covering the entire commander line. Right now we have an agreement in principle to produce a "on-time STC" to allow the AP-3C installation in the 685.... I'm working to convince them that there is a long-sighted approach to this that involves both ends of the commander fleet.... It's an argument that I have to make in stages...

    Hi Ken, OK - here's a listing of the short-body Commanders, with the same caveats as the earlier list! These, of course, are all piston Models: 500 - 43 / 10 500A - 30 / 9 (Including the Colemill "Super 300") 500B - 108 / 35 (Including those converted from 500A) 500S - 93 / 141 500U - 8 / 24 520 - 50 / 7 560 - 26 / 4 560A - 21 / 4 560A(HC) - 11 / 3 560E - 32 / 7 560F - 25 / 15 680 - 64 / 22 680E - 43 / 11 680F - 23 / 21 680F(P) - 17 / 5 720 - 3 / 0 A summary of these and the previous figures is: Piston Models - 684 / 374 Turbine Models - 433 / 403 Total - 1117 / 777 (1,894 still 'active' from a total built of 3,170) If the FAA Register database is checked for these figures, the likelihood is they will not be the same. The reason is that many are still showing on the "current" FAA Register, but were in fact exported many years ago, or have been withdrawn from service or destroyed, but the 'N' number has never been cancelled.

    Gordon- Before the heads of Chelton Aviation were killed in their accident- they had apparently received 34 orders for this autopilot in 690 series airplanes... They were planning to use our airplane to get the STC accomplished, so we're using the 690 as a lever to get the 685 and 680(long body) series covered as well. Interestingly enough, the only reason why we didn't have the STC filed before their accident was because they originally spec'd out the installation based on a short body 680... We had to send back the correct data/drawings/pictures for the installation to have them approved by their engineering people for the long body airplane. We were (literally) waiting on a signature only- and those poor fellows had a run of bad luck. So those drawings and data exist- and with any luck we'll be able to convince the DAS facility that they can act on them. If this can be my contribution to the community- then I'll be quite happy... and then i'll spend the rest of my time tooling around in N414C enjoying my new autopilot. ;-) Robert Randazzo _____ [mailto:owner-commander-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of CloudCraft@aol.com Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 12:53 In a message dated 31-Jul-06 12:49:32 Pacific Daylight Time, rsrandazzo@precisionmanuals.com writes: It's an argument that I have to make in stages...

    Hi Moe, Yes, of course, that's right. The good folk at the FAA are sometimes prone to not pigeon-holing things in the correct place. Another 'jumble' is with the "Aero Commander 500 S" (FAA MMS code 0141107) and the "Rockwell International 500-S" (FAA MMS code 7630410) where instead of a split at a certain serial number, it seems anything goes into either one of these, regardless of the entity it was manufactured under. Sometimes, in their defence, they are often fed 'duff' info in the first place though! (Not in your case, of course!!) I'm not having a go at the FAA here, as they've always been helpful over and above the call of duty to me and have had the patience of a Saint sometimes!!

    Subject: Matronics Email List Web Server Upgrade Tonight...
    --> Commander-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> Dear Listers, This evening I will be upgrading the Matronics Web Server hardware to a new Quad-processor 2.8Ghz Xeon system (yes, 4-physical CPUs!) with an Ultra 320 SCSI Raid 5 disk system and 5GB of DDR2 RAM. As with the older system, the new system will be running the latest version of Redhat Linux. Most of the software configuration work is already done for the migration, but I still have to sync all of the archive and forum data from the old system to the new system. I am anticipating about 2 to 3 hours of downtime for me to fully make the transition, although it could be considerable less if everything goes according to plan. The Matronics Webserver will be *UNavailable* from the Internet during the work, and you will receive a time-out if you try to connect during the upgrade. Email List Distribution will be *available* during the upgrade of the Web Server, and List message distribution will function as normal. This represents a significant performance upgrade for the Matronics Web Server and you should notice nicely improved searching and surfing performance following the upgrade! Best regards, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator

    Subject: A minor courtesy to one another
    --> Commander-List message posted by: "Robert S. Randazzo" <rsrandazzo@precisionmanuals.com> Commanders- As a courtesy to one another, if you happen to have a system filtering your email, please ensure that it is set up to receive email from this list. It's growing a bit tiring to receive email back from the hundreds of various email filtering scheme's asking me to confirm that I've sent email that has been captured and is being held prisoner because you don't want to receive junk mail. If you signed up for this list- then make sure you get your mail without further input from your fellow list participants! Robert Randazzo
