<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> I'VE HAD MY 500B FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT ONE EXTERNAL PART  IS OR DOES. THERE IS A 3/16 INCH RAM AIR TUBE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT  ABOUT 1 INCH BELOW THE PITOT TUBE. ANY IDEAS? THANKS,LLOYD    (N6290X).

Not so silly.   None of us were born knowing everything about Commanders.  Well, except for one or two people. 

 

 I'm digging deep here, having forgotten most of what I know about Commanders.  I believe that tube is for reference pressure for the fuel flow gauge.  In various aircraft I visited over the years fuel flow anomalies were sometimes traced to that being plugged or disconnected.

 

 By the way, it is not de or anti-iced.   Flying in icing conditions will play havoc with your fuel flow gauge ... just when you're worrying about all kinds of other stuff.

    There you go.  Sometimes free advice is worth every penny.  And, it shows the value of the Twin Commander Flight Group.  That's what it / we are all about.
