To me, a perfect analogy would be holding down some accelerator in a car while at the same time using brakes to control speed.

I know nothing about guitars, but I can see when one is played in a way it clearly wasn't intended to be. :mrgreen: I'll surely point that out, but whether the riff was any good, I let the players judge. Unless I hated it. :D -Esa p.s. Regarding weird sht, did the 727s you flew have operational brak...

Supposedly, by having their rather distinct electrode design if comparing to the "massive". I can intuitively see how the spark gap is perhaps well-ventilated with fresh air-fuel if compared to a classic aircraft plug. I could think of some issues given a rise in return, but if there are n...

About that partial heat... Usually the use of partial carburetor heat has a blanket don't on it, and perhaps mostly appropriately so... Again, going back to initial PPL training, I was taught that the reason for the “full or none” approach to carb heat was that very few airplanes of the carbureted ...

I thought about my last catastrophic flight and maybe I pulled Cabin Heat instead of Carb Heat. The wreck was not found for reconstruction of the incident. Waters seem to be rather deep there. Perhaps you tell the investigators that the heat did not function. :mrgreen: Depending on your cruise alti...

I would not have a cylinder pulled for a job that takes a simple carburetor adjustment. But, then again, I never really understood B2C. :mrgreen: Yeah, I reckon if you were to replace cylinders 2, 3 and 4, you'd experience perkier behaviour at idle. I rest my case. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I wonder if w...

Edit: all else being in the green and with no obvious culprits like clogged filters or dodgy mags, I guess I'd put my money on slightly low compression across one or more of the cylinders here. But maybe not enough to take them into the yellow so to speak. That could be it, though it really should ...

By the way, to clarify something - my initial response did not consider the plugs used because it does not matter - the engine quits within a few seconds even with fine wire plugs that I've been using just about all the time. (...) Hmm, that's interesting because a healthy engine should run fairly ...

I was taught since day one of private pilot training in 1977, that we do not want to idle airplane engines at the idle stop [...] In fact, I remember how my side of the story was told to me, rather vividly. As the story goes, if an engine did not keep a proper idle, you would immediately find out w...

By the way, to clarify something - my initial response did not consider the plugs used because it does not matter - the engine quits within a few seconds even with fine wire plugs that I've been using just about all the time. So that is not related to the choice of plugs per se. When the fouling was...

The best option in the sim if you don't like this behavior is to install the fine wire plugs via the tablet. Precisely. If unable to idle reasonably at all is a repeat issue, the pilot should contact his maintenance and ask them nicely to get the goddamned plane fixed . :mrgreen: This is my persona...

Yes, that's right. In my personal view, there will always be a bit of Accu-Sim dilemma: for what I see, aircraft's character is very much captured by replicating behavior and quirks of the "prototype" that would be a real, operational, individual aircraft. Yet, in the simulator you can cho...

Is it normal ? I need to keep some gas to get like 5-600 RPM to avoid this to happen If not normal what could I do to change this ? You would do just that, add in some throttle. This behavior is "normal", in a sense that it is how it is. However, I would not call it "desired". A...

First, an important point :): CARBURETOR ICING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ICING CONDITIONS! Instead, it has to do with humidity , which in turn tends to be there in appropriate amounts in the atmosphere in relatively warm conditions. The temperature drops into freezing due to fuel evaporating in the car...

Oil lines were the first thing to start failing for me as well. I’m only at about 27 hours for the MSFS Comanche, but at a 2X wear rate. Can’t seem to find the time to get into the shop to get them replaced, so for now I’m adding oil as needed and keeping an eye on the oil loss rate. I think it’s l...
