Westwind-Bleed air leak

[soarby007]

Recently I got a "Bleed Air Leak" annunciator on the right engine at about 6,000'. After reducing power about 80 degrees the light goes away and never comes on again, til the next flight. Mechancic inspects and says doesn't find anything. Anyone ever experience something like this and get a solution. I'm pressing for more inspection by the mechanic, but wondering if this has been experienced by some of you Westwind guys.

I dont know anything about the Westwind however I have had a bleed air leak before.

Bleed Air leaks are nothing to mess around with IMHO.

I´ve never flown a Westwind, but I believe that it´s shares the same system with the Astra. I´ve had a similiar problem. It turned out to be a wiring harness issue.

Thanks sled,

It hasn't been totally resolved yet, but most folks I've talked to are in agreement that there is not an actual bleed air leak or I'd have other issues besides an annunciator light that comes & goes without really doing much. Guess the mechanic will just have to trace it down somehow. Since it is a very close cousin to the Astra, I suspect you have something there.
