I replaced the reduction gear with what I hoped would be a serviceable unit and the problem went away.

Gordon" Joel, The Turbo Commanders have an electric lock that must be over-ridden if the engine is running. The piston models depend on common sense. If you don't have a supply of th at, you can subscribe to a Safety Management System, become IS-BAO 9000 cer tified and have a big fat manual with a specific procedure written to preve nt yourself from opening the crew door with the engine running. Either method will work. Keith S Gordon Life is not simple anywhere. Probably less so elsewhere.

I could not resist The plane was on the ramp, door open, pilot inside cooling off inside the FBO waiting for passengers. Sorry I never took the whole N601WT on the picture, but at least I remember taking the tag! Hope to see you all in Co. Springs and sure hope the waxing still shows on triple 2 (as for the Sir's waxing no comment!) See Ya! PS. The other high winger on the back is my ride -------- 560 Dreamer Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=425819#425819 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/p6260138_173.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/p6260139_453.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/p6260137_475.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/p6260136_480.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message commander-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Commander-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/commander-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/commander-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
