Well, at least it started and ended at an airport.

HF Radio Trouble, The pumps had noise causing them to interfere with the HF Radio since I was unable to have 2 way HF radio com's I was denied an oceanic clearance. Had to return to Point of Departure. I belive we have it Solved added a noise filter to the power feeding the pumps. and was abe to contact on ground and in air. As soon as i get in a tail wind situiation again will attempt a Second Run.

I have done several pacific crossings and have never had to get a oceanic clearance enroute to Hawaii?? Only needed one for the Atlantic. Is that a low altitude thing?


Might be a while before you get a tailwind heading westbound to HI

NW_Pilot..... be careful man. You take alot of risks, but I understand someone has to do it.

Giving it another go?

 

[NW_Pilot]

Giving it another go?

Yea, going to give it another go as soon as the aircraft is right It's confirmed I had 1 bad fuel pump. That one bad pump was causing a ground loop in the electrical system causing feedback on the radios.

I have 2 138 Gal. Fuel Tanks in the cabin + 156 gal stock aircraft = 432 Gal. Longest leg is 2,100 Miles.

Pump X was the bad pump.
