I just thought I'd interject some data about my current Dukes. 9-1/2 years, probably 1200 cycles. I estimate 50 hours of operating time.

This is the insert removed today after 9 1/2 years and ~ 460 hours: Removing was a bear. Had to drill out the old screws and cut a groove in the mounting collar to get it out. It was frozen in place, seemingly by a rock-hard buildup of carbon between the mounting flange and the housing. Integrity of...

Of course, if comm 2 works, PTT isn't the problem. And since you say you switched comm units, I presume that rules out the audio panel and the usual deal of re-seating the unit.

There are no technical issues here, the data being transferred is trivial text. This is strictly a lack of desire to cooperate between Jeppesen and Garmin because they are competing for our EFB and charts spending. Had Garmin not had such a narrow NIH mentality and simply purchased FF before Jeppes...

The different Garmin units, for sure, behave differently. As I pointed out, I don't see unknown waypoints transmitted to the GNS. The transfer itself simply fails and nothing shows up. I believe the GTN units behave the same as the GNS.

There are other unresolved complexities. I posted in the FS210 thread about rejects that have no known explanation. And there is software in multiple systems and vendors (at least 3) involved. Remember also that this is two-way communication that needs to be supported. I've found that some changes a...

My IPC is from 2007. I have it as a PDF file. Here are the pertinent pages: 32-40-272.jpg 32-40-273.jpg You will notice that there are metal ring grease seals on each side of the felt seals. Your description of your installation seemed to indicate a metal ring on the outboard side of the felt ring ...

BTW, I believe the speed gear wheels use different part numbers. Mine are still the old fat-gear models. So are mine. My IPC lists the P/N as I described, and they fit perfectly (I've changed them once, about 10 years ago). Steve Curious. Is this the online IPC? No matter what serial number I put i...

Rich: I'm confused. The felt grease seals, P/N 154-00300 are still widely available. They are around $10 each. I've never had the migration problem you describe. Steve I didn't say they weren't available. The last time I ordered the felt seals, for one thing, one of them didn't fit. Plus I was buyi...
