One of my neighbors at Stellar Airpark in Chandler, AZ was flying his IV-PT back from California when the cabin filled with smoke and fire. Nothing he did reduced the smoke and fire. He made an emergency landing and got the fire put out. One of his two 12V batteries wired in series for 24v caught fire and burned a hole through the fuselage. These batteries were the backup set and completely off line. They were located at the copilots kick panel. The plane has been repaired and currently is at paint. Craig Berland =20 something has been bugging me about batteries in the airplane. Now I remember: I had a friend who was a charter pilot flying a turbo-210 for Vermont Castings in the 70's. This nearly new airplane had an electical problem IMC which resulted in the battery smoking/outgassing into the cabin. The cabin quickly filled with smoke. He had to shut down all power (smoke cleared) and fly partial panel and nordo. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C8C64C.DF2D584B Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
