Mine is activated by the squat switch on the left gear leg.
"jsmith" wrote in message = news Not necessarily. Correctly, it is an oil pressure switch. When oil pressure exceeds a=20 preset value, the switch closes a contact, permitting current to flow. On some installations, the Hobbs is wired directly to the DC buss = which=20 is energized when the Master is turned on. My experience is that High Performance aircraft use the oil pressure=20 switch and fixed pitch, under 200 hp aircraft use the Master switch. =20 wrote: Hobbs meters are driven by oil pressure. |

Does ATC really care about details of the route as long as you end up at
one of the fixes used for the STAR arrivals? I've always had good luck filing a direct route to the STAR fix. For instance, to the Detroit satellite airports, I would file direct to CRUXX and then to the destination. I do the same thing for Chicago-Midway: direct to CGT and then to MDW. As long as my route does not go through any other airspace or MOA, I get cleared as filed. Same for Cleveland area airports: direct to KEATN and then to the destination airport. I've not had many instances where this technique has failed. Roy Smith wrote in : "Peter R." wrote: Roy Smith wrote: Look up the routes in the back of the AFD. In the Northeast US, filing the preferred route does not always guarantee a cleared as filed No, it doesn't. The published routes are a good guess, though. The worst that happens if you file the "wrong" route and you get a full route clearance. |
