Fortunately, I was not affected in any way, but my wife and I have been following
the news. It's a terrible situation.

3/7
Trying to hunt down an interesting (concerning?) cruise resonance. Eliminat
ing any unbalanced prop contribution using the very nice piece of kit from S
mart Avionics, the PB40 using dual two axis accelerometers (i also have his s
martass in both my planes).
Having used the dynavib in the past, i find the pb40 provides much more info
, including spectrums, and the two accelerometers allows me to measure in al
l axis=99, including torsional resonances. Still digesting the differe
nces when the resonance kicks off.
I did find that short-run ground balancing isn't good enough to get a consis
tent result, and the dynamics in flight also appear to effect the results. S
o fly with it i did.
Cheers,
Pete

Issues I have with this modification;
1. Call me annal, drilling holes into and through the fuselage skin establishes
a stress point that may not but could lead to something worse than a door departing
the aircraft; this possibility has not been adequately addressed yet.
2. I dont believe this modification sufficiently negates the possibility of the
inexperienced from still, somehow, getting the door misaligned and locked at
the same time. Although it is a good attempt and may very well work, lets hope
all the time, it still lends itself to operational failure. Its not 100% idiot
proof... And not everyone is nimble enough to visually check, so we are back
to square one again.
Best Failsafe Solution Possible - fit two series wired switches to the end of each
shoot bolt pin, per door, activating a, 100% the door is secured for take
off, visual indication lamp on the instrument panel; Left Door Secured / Right
Door Secured - Done
Sorry if Ive offended anybody here, I simply come from the school of find the hole
in the swiss cheese and do it right or just go home.

Avi,
Has it become a mandatory Airworthy Directive in Australia? Here in NZ it ha
s, as our CAA tends to follow UK CAA. I have just installed it, not a good l
ook!
