The PRATT & WHITNEY extended warranty for the oil pump turbine PT6A -42A end November 2010

Normal operation for the oil pump is 125-130 PSI. An Indication for beginning oil pump failure is during taxi or flight a suddenly pressure dropping to 95-100 PSI. That is in the green arc but an indication for oil pump failure.

Change the oil pump before the extended warranty program comes to the end.

Unbelievable Landing at Aspen This Morning

So at about 10:00 a.m. this morning, tower rolls our emergency equipment for a Piper Malibu on an eight mile final with "low oil pressure and a possible oil leak". On short final, I hear the pilot advise the tower that he'll make the runway, but that he has virtually no forward visibility due to oil on the windscreen.

All of us looking out of our office windows see the aircraft roll out long on the runway, and notice that the entire prop and spinner are missing, since it all sheared off at the crankshaft, IN FLIGHT, apparently at least eight miles from the airport.

Safety Seminar in Rome, Thursday, 26th July – Saturday, 28th July 2007
Official MMOPA and MMS & TF Invitation

Dear Members,

As you already know, the American MMS & TF Malibu/Mirage Safety & Training Foundation and the MMOPA have kindly invited their European friends in the MMIG46 to a Seminar in Rome.

The Seminar will take place from Thursday, 26th July to Saturday, 28th July 2007.

The cost of the Seminar will be $349 per person.

The MMS & TF would like you to send in you registrations now! These should arrive no later than 1st March 2007.

Click on the link to open the registration form. Please fax or e-mail the completed form to the address provided and let me know too so that we can make any necessary arrangements.

Please note that the cost does NOT include the hotel. As soon as registration closes, the MMS & TF will reserve hotel rooms. We will probably be staying in the same hotel as our American friends.

Most of the Americans will be arriving on Sunday, 22nd July (either in their own Malibus or on scheduled flights). So far more than 25 American registrations have been sent in and many more are still expected.

Various sightseeing tours are being organized – please see the registration form!

The MMOPA is the American Interest Group of Malibu pilots. Their invitation to us is not only an opportunity to learn more about safety and maintenance; it is also an excellent chance to meet new people and make new friends, between the clubs and individual members. It would be nice if as many of you as possible could come.

John Mariani is officially responsible for safety training for the MMOPA and is one of the speakers in Rome. He has written to tell me how much he is looking forward to seeing us there.

The Seminar itself will be held in the Italian Air Force Museum in Vigna die Valle, near Bracciano. This is a world class museum and is within an Italian Airforce base. While attending the Seminar we will have an excellent opportunity to visit this unique museum.

Our hosts are looking forward to a successful event, not only for their own members but also for their friends whether from America or Europe. The aim of the MMS & TF is enhanced SAFETY for all aviatiors!

As ever – safe flying and happy landings!

On behalf of the Committee

Wilhelm Schröer

MMOPA Seminar in Rome, Thursday 26th - Saturday 28th July, 2007

Dear Members,

The MMOPA in America is organising a seminar in Rome for their members and they have kindly invited us to join them there. Normally, membership of the MMOPA is required for MMOPA seminars, but they have very kindly waived this requirement and invited MMIG46 members to attend too.

This will be a great opportunity to meet a large number of PA46 pilots from the US and establish a working relationship with our "American cousins".

The seminar will include talks by Kevin Meed on Maintenance Issues of the PA46 and by John Mariani on Safety Issues & Systems Review.

Kevin Meed is the American "Malibu Pope" and, with the largest number of Malibus being maintained by his company, has the greatest PA46 experience.

John Mariani is an engineer in airplane construction. During the early 1980s he worked on the development of the Malibu in the Piper Team under Jim Griswood. Later he moved on to training and ferry flights. The American MMOPA has appointed him to be officially responsible for safety training under the MMSF, the Malibu Mirage Safety Foundation.

These seminars are heavily subsidised and so cost just US$ 349 for each participant. The seminar in Rome will be the first MMSF/MMOPA seminar outside the USA.

If you are interested in joining us in Rome, please contact me by e-mail so that further arrangements can be made.

Best wishes and happy landings

Wilhelm Schröer
