Default RE: Another "Fail safe" manufacturer to add...

Yes I think I have confused things here!

First let me make sure everyone understands what I am talking about.....

I am talking about a system that can shutdown the turbine under a PCM FAILSAFE event, with a user programmable delay. The JetCat system will also shutdown on the complete loss of signal (or garbling of the signal) with a PPM system as well, uing the same user programmable timing.

That was my mistake, as I do not run PPM with turbines, nor do I know anyone who does, but to each his own, our system works with PPM as well.

I think the SIMJET system will shutdown with a loss of the PPM signal, but I am not sure what it does under PCM...just as Gordon indicated I think it is semantic.

Sorry if I have further confused this, but I think it is important in the new proposed rules to have shutdowns to decrease the chance of fires.

Also I know most people use PCM. I also know that many turbine fliers that use PCM do not want an instant shutdown.

I know JetCat will let (PCM and PPM) users, that do not want instant shutdown on a failsafe event, to achieve their goals. Not sure of the other manufacturers, I am sure they will speak up here.
