Yakster friends,
Brian is correct, no 2nd class required for commercial certification,
likewise no 1st class required for ATP certification and 3rd class is
adequate for CFI--even if paid? Think so. I guess us CFI's aren't really
commercial" operators--not considered carrying pax for hire? Heart of
darkness--the Horror! FAA changed the rule a few years ago to encourage
folks to take training and acquire certification even if they had no
intention of exercising the authority--I won't say "privilege," Brian,
because I agree with you, rock rib democrat (big and small d) that I am,
though I supported competent war-making in Iraq. Powell had the wrong job.
Ooops. Didn't really say that. Haven't heard from Frank lately...are you
lurking out there?
Dennis is also quite correct that water, oil etc. will and do collect in the
ignition harness ring contributing to Bad Things therein and a Big Problem
for lead breakdown, esp old commie wires pre-silicone insulation and will
extinguish your cigarette(s)/candle(s)/spark/ing plugs. However, I don't
think collecting same within the mag is a good idea, ergo my concern about
sealing wires at the mag. Yes, braiding is for RF shielding, not
waterproofing. BTW, RF shielding is also provided by the ring as the
braiding connects thereto and likewise at the mag end and, right you are, it
ain't waterproof there, either, though it helps. It's the rubber. Now that
individual coil/cylinder is common in cars, wonder when we'll go back to the
same setup as used in numerous big a/c lumps pre- Big One, this time
breakerless, which would be progress. We're not tilling new sod here,
semiconductors maybe excepted, which is a good fraction of my respect for
ancient engineering.
Sorry about your friends, Val and Jeff. Sad part of the airman's life, as
they used to say. We've all lost good friends. No need to sacrifice
without Good Cause--maybe not then--especially when preventable. No
consolation.
And a baud eagle is definitely a surreptitious moment--love it Pappy! I,
too, preferred spelling before Webster!
Yet to meet a "civilian" of any sort who could match the proficiency or
cunning of a professional, regrdlefs of speling.
