Re: North Star BT67 put down on lake
Yes the condition levers have a gate....but with the amount of cycles I amigine it has, the hard corner would over time not be pointy. Also I assume the captain shuts down the airplane. This would be a pull force to the left every time, which tiny amounts over and over would make the lever arms not so tight to the right side of its travel. I can totally see how possible this could be and without much effort. Throw in 1am and darkness...
I guess I should write something here.

Don't fly a BT67 Shim. How do you always mention my knickers?

The hot air. Some day I'll just land one in a swamp, then tune here to learn how I did.

No idea who the crew was (don’t really care) or their background, but, the throttles on a “real” DC3 are in the middle. Props on the left.....just throwing that out there.

Re: North Star BT67 put down on lake
It's just that I worry about you and how wound up you get. Given your advanced age it can be hazardous to your health. But now I see you only get spun up when it concerns types that you fly.Illya Kuryakin wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 7:45 pm Don't fly a BT67 Shim. How do you always mention my knickers?

It's the same plane that was on the ice!Just another canuck wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2019 1:33 pm Keep in mind could be a rumour only but I heard the PM pulled the condition levers instead of the props. Which when you think about it, is the most reasonable scenario I can think of. Better chance of hitting lotto max on a weekly basis than having true dual engine failures. Fuel contamination seems unlikely to me cause they already flew a leg. That thing will fly just fine on one so... And I'd really like to know what happened to the one on the ice too.
They are floating this one off the lake Tomorrow and doing engine swaps at the airport
She'll be back in the air soon
Re: North Star BT67 put down on lake
Which is very nice for "real" DC-3's, and would not be permitted for the Basler. With the Basler updates being approved under FAR Part 25, instead of CAR 4, it is required that the engine control location conform to FAR Part 25 standards - power levers to the left. The Basler power lever arrangement would be the same as every other Part 25, multi engined Part 23, and most CAR 3 multi engined planes, to assure commonality. I'm confident that the pilots of a Turbine powered Basler DC-3 would recall that they are not flying a piston powered DC-3 - There are differences between the two versions of the aircraft beyond power lever position.the throttles on a “real” DC3 are in the middle.

As an AvCanada discussion grows longer:
-the probability of 'entitlement' being mentioned, approaches 1
-one will be accused of using bad airmanship

Re: North Star BT67 put down on lake
I just tossed that out there for interest. Beech 18, Beech Travel Airs, and early Barons also had throttles centre. Probably many more. Beavers? Otters? Methinks so.PilotDAR wrote: ↑Thu Jun 27, 2019 11:24 pmWhich is very nice for "real" DC-3's, and would not be permitted for the Basler.

And like most knobs they had their approved shape, colour and length and also contoured so one's hand will not slip off

Re: North Star BT67 put down on lake
Has anyone seen if they have gotten the plane out yet?
Re: North Star BT67 put down on lake
Leave those floats on and get an STC, would be mighty cool!

Liberalism itself as a religion where its tenets cannot be proven, but provides a sense of moral rectitude at no real cost.

Oh god.

That's an actual photo. They really did that to one or two planes.
