So this morning I was set for a nice solo flight to Jackson.
Just me and the plane and a cross-country for breakfast with a couple practice instrument approaches done VFR (and since not hooded and no safety pilot they would not have been logged as approaches). Just a relaxing VFR trip.
It was not to be,
Got to the airport, got in the Hangar, did an initial walk around, went to open the Hangar door and:
Yep, a whole lot of nothing. The Hangar motor did not turn. After over 20 tries there was one moment with a kiss of power but it stil wouldn't open. None of the breakers in the hangar were tripped, but I tried resettign them anyways. Nada.
Well, that didn't work out too well. I called ouR head of maintenance for the club and got a call back from him. The breakers - they do nothing, The hangar door electric feed is controlled by the airport authority on a separate breaker for which we don't have access. Could be the entire row is out, could be our motor, could be a limited switch (per Mr. B), who knows.
So, no flying for me today.
