And that's where the smartness ended-- from redundancy to none at all.
Not sure I agree with Jeff - certainly not with the tone of the response!!
First of all the post seems to have been intended to share something
valuable with the group. It succeeded and should be acknowledged for that.
Secondly, I suspect the author checked out the situation under the cowl
before taking off and made a reasoned judgment the spring and its effect on
the mixture had a very low likelihood of failure for the duration of the
ferry flight home. In the certificated world that's what ferry permits are
for. I give the author, and others who share their experiences, the credit
for stepping up and sharing.
Every flight carries risk. My job as pilot is to make those risks
manageable and assure myself I have done what I can to ensure safety of the
flight. I think most of us do that.
Perhaps a description of the spring and its operation with a drawing might
be cause for intelligent, constructive discussion on the LML, but this wet
blanket verbal slam against the author's decision to ferry back home is not
a positive contribution. There wasn't much smartness from the beginning in
this response..
