Exactly this. Even though some will want additional inspections prior to purchase, this annual will cost you a small amount (Compared to value) and will go a long ways to determine the value the aircraft. Sell it with any discrepancies open. A “pre-buy” Inspection by comparison is near...

If we visit, do you promise to put on some clothes?

The cowling in question is a “Fan Cowl” they are quite floppy and flexible when open. They have rods to hold them open for MX. If its windy they are often lowered to the closed position when not activly worked, as they are susceptible to damage when open in gusty conditions. When that happens...

“Ziad Ojakli, Boeing executive vice president and the company’s chief government lobbyist, said in a letter to Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wa., obtained by the Seattle Times, adding the “working hypothesis: that the documents required by our processes were not created when the door plug was opened.”...

Guilty until proven innocent?

If its unjustified, why give it attention?

$20 can get you an EMF detector on amazon. I would purchase one and try it out at various power settings and alternator loads. If nothing else you can then detect ghosts in your house when done.

Are the wings level?

As I concluded before you tried the replacement unit, there is not conclusive evidence posted that there was anything wrong with your original G5. Swapping the units for the same anomaly was serious evidence that its airframe side. Further anomalies on the replacement unit only goves more...

From my seat that looks like a pretty good street to have the gear down for a very non-climatic landing. Maybe he wanted to make sure the insurance company owned it.

After thinking more about this deal, just go talk to the A&P that’s maintaining it. Ask him what he thinks about the airplane. Then you’ll have to assess how honest you think he is. I think most mechanics are pretty straight up about owners, and how they take care of things. He probably doesn’t...

Based off of the information provided, there is not conclusive evidence that the G5 is faulty IMO. Especially since your other G5 shows some issues in the same spot. I am curious as to what your new unit does. You might greatly benefit some a fresh set of eyes on the issue.

According to what?

I meant AC as in ACMP #2 is electric, #2 EDP is the engine pump. Mechanic talk here! My memory is starting to fade on the fine details. Maybe its external power that is the difference. ACMP #2 would not run on GPU power when weight off wheels. To perform gear swings in the hangar, we had to...

IIRC they need system 2 hydraulics to raise the gear. The AC pump for sys 2 will not run weight off wheels. If engine 2 is dead, the gear stays down. Only thing I can think of common to both engines is the source of fuel and the guys at the controls.

The book also notes their use. I’m finding the story of this series to be a little disappointing. The CGI doesn’t bother me though. IMO not even close to Band of Brothers.

I’m curious to know what those are? I’ve turned wrenches on a very similar platform some.

I thought there was an RV guy with similar software that could help with snagging a number?

The SRM allows for missing screws in most panels. Corners typically excluded.
