Fuel system inspected. The transducer output is dead.
I cannot imagine how a fuel totaliser failure would make me cancel a flight… Heck, 80% of the GA fleet doesn’t even have one and 90% of the SEPs have less endurance than the TB20.
Not a good attitude to risk in case it’s a fuel leak!

And spending the weekend wondering what’s wrong with your pride and joy, but not in a position to fix nor diagnose it, probably doesn’t make for an enjoyable weekend ;)

But you still got your primary system, the fuel quantity indicators, don’t you? Out of curiosity, I looked it up in “my” minimum equipment list: Fuel totalisier (integrated in the FMS) may be inoperative provided both fuel quantity indicators are working.
And regarding the fuel leak: Your totalisier can not tell you anything about a leak upstream of the transducer, only the gages can.
I arrived and am having a very lonely lunch at the airport restaurant reading about other’s problems.
Aww Aviathor! I’m sure the gang will be along to keep you company soon. At least you got to fly today – I’m stuck behind a desk at work looking at the blue sky outside and wishing I could be flying instead!
Bon Appétit!
Peter vanished from the flight tracker. Wonder whether that means he arrived, or… At the C office right now.
Landed. Got great pictures while flying around the lake waiting for someone to man the radio…
Only 3 real pilots made it in before nightfall. We had rain, sleet, thunder, embedded CB, lightning and freezing rain all the way down to the ground… all kinds of nasty stuff on the way over. We will be back at the airport by daybreak to welcome other intrepids.
There is a good chance that I’ll be flying there around lunch tomorrow. Do you guys plan to have lunch at the airport ?
