Hi, Guys!
My apologies for the redundancy here - as I'm certain this has been covered multiple time on the list. But could someone enlighten me as to the expectations / regulations involved w/ our Yak air bottles? (As in testing / certification) What is the process and time span? And is it a condition inspection airframe log issue?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!

It will depend where you live and who writes the rules and regulations.
Here in New Zealand they require the bottle is removed and pressure tested every 5 years and borescope inspected every year or 100 hours.
If you have an onboard pump its wise given you are pumping cloud into your air system :-/ I dont have an on board pump on my 55m, I use dry dive air from a dive bottle, but they still require the inspections .

Hi All,
The New Zealand CAA Airworthiness Directive also requires us to remove the tanks and drain the water out every 50 hours or annually. I usually only get a teaspoon or so of oily gunk out of the main tank and the emergency tank is always clean.
I think the Russians put a bit of oil in the tanks to help prevent corrosion too. Has anyone found a western alternative to use?
