Olde Phart Tryin', wilst comin' out the udder side.

[Lost1wing]

Thank you Sir.

Been careful isolating stuff.

Disconnected charger.

Primary 12.8

Aux 12.9

Gonna let them sit a bit and check them again.

I've never disconnected the IBS connector before, it will be off any source of voltage for over three hours when reconnection begins maybe 1700 hours.

I'm running out of gas.

Thaks for the guidance, I hope this works!

That could be enough time. I would have pulled the connector off to be sure.

Those readings look great especially if it holds for 30 minutes.

Voltage check at 1700

Reconnect all at 1705, and hoping for the best.

I think, the way I'm feeling now, reconnect all, pop the charger back on overnight and see what the morning brings.

HOPEFULLY no circled A in the AM!

Thanks again for all's help.

Would HATE to go to the stealership to see what the issue may be.

Good plan! Good luck!

Don't forget that some things may be missing on your center display for up to 24hrs.

Hopefully no circled A when the wash is done.

Thanks for your, and all's, guidance!

So gotta ask Lostwing, tell me the story of the fifteen with the missing limb, and how that represents you?

 

[Lost1wing]

Israeli aircraft had a midair collision and lost a wing. It landed safely and even the pilot coul not believe that he just landed his aircraft in that condition. How ot relates to me is, I read about the story and made a comment about it at work. The guys called BS on me and gave me a nickname of lostwing. The nickname didn't last long, but when the internet became a thing, I was able to defend myself and share the story with those who called BS. I tried to use lostwing as my email address for something different but it was taken. Lost1wing kind of fit the avatar image and the story.

I wish I had a better story to tell.

 

[OVERLORD]

Both Batteries at 12.8 Volts, Aux and Prime.

Gonna button the Olde Gurl up, pop the carger back on and see what tomorrow brings,thanks for the help.

Send happy, fuzzy, sparkly Unicorn thoughts my way!

Thanks for the help folks!

I remember that happening, and an amazing bird.

Retired Air Force here, thirty years.

Supported a lot of airframes, F-15s mostly as transients.

Big BUFF, FB, KC, Phantoms, and FRED history, and everything in between.

Thanks again for your help, and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

We'll see what tomorrow brings!

My friend that got me involved in aviation was an F-15 mechanic before re-enlisting into the Army to work on rotorwing aircraft. That is the reason I had read the story to begin with. He did a lot of talking about the F-15.

Amazing bird!

How many aircraft in history, have shot down an orbiting satellite, in space?

We had several guys from Lockheed working with us. One in particular would relate everything he did to the C-5 and that was his nickname. C5

My last assignment, prior to retirement, was a C-5A unit.

Sadly, all the airframes I wrenched on, are now in the boneyard.

I hope it wasn't because of me!

I worked with a few guys at Kelly AFB during Katrina. They were assigned to help me run my B757 ( I was a solo mechanic for 3 aircraft). When we finished what I needed to do, they gave me a in depth tour of a C-17. That was one of the few aircraft that I have never been in at the time. Good days.

I worked seventeens at Ramstein during Bosnia.

Amazing bird too.

My unit converted to seventeens after the FREDs were sent to the boneyard.

I was gone by then, love to see them fly over daily.

Quite a history, began as a C-130 replacement, the YC-15.

Worked the YC-14 and YC-15 as they were being considered.

Glad they stuck to the concept and made such an amazing aircraft as a result.

After an IBS reset, the IBS needs to re-learn the battery SOC (state of charge). It should default to 80% SOC. But the FSM states that it may take some 'cycles' and some features (like the ESS) may not work until it updates. So, even if you immediately get the circled A, give it a cycle or two or three for it to go away.

From the FSM:
