abc Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 anyone know any more details on this yet?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> & they just bought an EC120B!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hmmm....actually I am concerned more with the fact that no one was seriously hurt or injured.....hope all is okay with anyone that was on board.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckmeister Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 & they just bought an EC120B!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just to clear up the confusion. There is no relationship between the company that has recently acquired an EC120B and any incident regarding fuel exhaustion. And that’s all I know. Hope all are O.K. though.

nonames76 Posted February 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Heard it was a feild or parking lot and it was due to fuel exhaustion. PIC was ok, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helilog56 Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 That's more encouraging ......sounds as though the pilot was very proficient at doing full-on's (a "dig" to all operators that 'don't"), but needs a refresher on "fuel management"......

This info I never found in the flight manual. I had a fuel contamination once. I caught it with the boostpump check... U pull the breaker, gage shows still pressure but caution light does not illuminate.... as I recall it was something like that. there was no other indication. SO the engeneers had the pleasure of cleaning the fuelcell in the field, they did and awesome job. So at ground idle with both boost pumps off... she does the loud silience thing............i recommend u do this test on the ground......ur Boost pump check does not work with a full tank anyways......... So give the guy a break till details are know........rumors killl too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
