How does the IBIS/BIM Indicator send a signal to the sensor?

Well MCPO I dont really know but I bet it has something to do with radioactivity...

What does ADI do for you just before takeoff? PW 2800 DW...

Hey Keith,

You're too old to be answering the radioactive question!!

ADI....we talking HU-25's?

PW 2800 DW

Pratt and Whitny
2800
Double Wasp.....

This is from my college notes:

Prior to takeoff, the horsepower of the Pratt and Whitney 2800 (a twin banked radial engine) may be effectively boosted to 2800 by Injection of an Anti Detonation fluid composed of water and methanol. I'm assuming that ADI is anti detonation injection?

That was a good question. I never worked on those. I had to do the research to learn about it. The water injection makes sense. IAW Wikipedia, there are many variations of the 2800. It would need a "W" designation to be water injected. The engine was used on many aircraft, notable for us, the Convair. Also the same plane Lynard Skynard crashed on.

There is a radioactive substance inside the rotor blades. When some is released a geiger counter on top of the helo activates a rotor blade malfunction indicator light in the cockpit.

Close, but not exactly. "Exposed" might be a better term than released (bad for the pigeons too!)

When someone is getting Electricuted and power cannot be secured there are two things suggested to do by the navair 505. What are they?

That's a good one!!!

I'd guess you would use a wood stick/grounding rod and/or knock them down or push them away from the source????

Pry them off the circuit with a non conductive object that is one.
One more to go.

Sorry wrong manual. I meant to say Electronics Manual 10550.

Calling for med assistance seems too obvious.....The other thought is secure the master power switch to shutdown all power??? No sense cooking the EMTS.

I don't want to drag it out to long.

Rescuing an Electric Shock Victim
When a person has come in contact with a live wire or circuit, immediately turn off the power in the circuit.
If you cannot turn off the power
• do not touch the victim, and
• use one of the methods in the table below to remove the victim from the wire or circuit.
To …
Use …
pry the victim from the wire or circuit
an insulated pole or stick of non-metallic, non-conductive material free of dirt, grease, paint, and varnish.
pull the victim from the wire or circuit
a piece of dry rope, belt, or clothing looped over the victim’s arm or leg.


Cut and pasted from the book

Grab the nearest camera. People that are getting "bit" make the funniest faces. Yes, I know this from personal experience.

ok, what's "iti-titi"

Since this a Tweet board, it has something to do with Star Wars, Magic: the Gathering or W.O.W.

LEEEROYYY JENKKKINS!

I have know idea what iti-titi means but I do believe there is a committee on that topic somewhere.

Apparently they're very popular, my ex-girlfriend had two of them.
