From: To: [email protected] Subject: Gil update Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2011 22:59:52 +0000 Jeffrey, Tstat is installed and working, APU is not as smooth as I thought it would sound when accelerating from 80% to 100%, the part we installed is 41 years old, so that could be an issue,.We are doing functional checks of the APU Surge Valve, which is the last part of the air system involved in starting. Surge valve will arrive tomorrow from Savannah at 10:30am is what I'm being told, just in case we elect to install it,. I'm fine with APU operation at this point, so we can depart if you like any time tomorrow,. I will know more around midnight tonight if a problem with surge valve is found„ only takes 1.5 hours to install,. I did not want to delay your departure) can always install when we do the below floor inspection,.if there is an issue found with surge valve,. The technicians at Long Beach are marginal as far as Gil knowledge, they are following the Tech supports recommendations,.only one guy is approved to run APU, all others are GIV and up specialist,. Boost pump operation normal., changed boost pump Relay for UH side, and two pressure switches,. I will update you if any findings on surge valve,.let me know if there is a departure time yet? thank you, Larry EFTA00653900
