For instance, although Jim White and I have invested considerable time and effort to build air conditioners into our planes, I'm not sure we'll gain the expected benefit--a cool interior--during the demanding conditions of ground ops with the engine at idle. Any comments from people with installed systems would be helpful. For another, we installed the retractable step, but I've seen enough of these things permanently fastened up to indicate that it may not work as intended, or perhaps not as reliably? Comments?
