Guys.
Happy Father's Day, Not a bad week so far. I flew N357CJ seven of
the last eight days for close to 10 hours. I did get a flat tire again
yesterday on the left side this time and the small hole was at the exact
same place inside sidewall with nothing being found that would make the
puncture. It went flat will I was getting a soda pop after fueling up and
it sure made it tough getting it back to the hanger.
I have a little trouble this morning to investigate. Will sitting
at another airport waiting for traffic I noticed the EIS flashing which
is nothing new considering the way it acts when the instrument gets hot.
But this time it was the low oil pressure warning and that never happened
before. I did a run up and it came up to 42 psi from the 28 that it was
showing at idle. I choose to fly back home which was only about 10 min
away. I kept a eye on it during flight and it didn't drop below 38 psi. I
did just a base to finial to shorten the time in the air and carried a
little power for the approach to keep pressure up. During roll out it
dropped back into the 28psi range again. There was no evidence of loosing
oil so I need to start looking under the hood to see what I can find
I'll let ya know what I find.
Kind of a bummer as I had planned to take my father inlaw for a
flight on for Father's Day.
