    How do I get a copy of MIL-I-8776B?

    Most of you should have read the post, not just the title. I said it was cancelled long ago and even provided the date. And I said it wasn't worth purchasing something so old. I'm sure IHS wants me to buy one. It wasn't in the customer IHS collection. We are determining whether or not it is...

    How do I get a copy of MIL-I-8776B?

    MIL-I-8776B was cancelled in 1981. How do I get an online copy? It's referenced in a customer document and I want to see how important it is. It's certainly not worth paying to see a doc cancelled 3 decades ago. Thanks, Roger

    DO-160F Crash Safety, Apply Landing Gear Pin Load to Uplock?

    Wrong doc? Hardly. What test spec do you think is used for Salt Fog testing of landing gear or cold temp testing for a flap actuator? Virtually everything that moves on an aircraft has some sort of electrical sensor to tell of it's position. This is no different. I don't want to learn about...

    Spin Wheels Before Landing

    ERAU82 - The automatic braking systems out there can be set to apply a selectable percentage of braking power upon landing and thereby eliminate LH-RH brake wear differences, at least as caused by the pilots.

    DO-160F Crash Safety, Apply Landing Gear Pin Load to Uplock?

    DO-160F, Sect 7.3 says - During the impulse tests...an equivalent weight may be substituted for electrical-mechanical components normally mounted within or on the equipment case. My question is - Would the landing gear pin load on the uplock need to be considered or should you just apply the...

    Weird Excel Format Problem

    handleman, The code worked fine but had a problem converting something that ended up displaying as a "?". I added a few lines to detect that and replace it with a space. Thanks, Roger

    Weird Excel Format Problem

    What wise men you are. Yes we're in Japan and it was a hassle for the company to get something set up for us. It must be a two op system problem. I'll try the code. Thanks, Roger

    Weird Excel Format Problem

    I sort of anticipated that I would have to do that so here it is. I uploaded a file called Excel Problem.xls and it shows as an attachment but I don't see anything when I preview post to indicate it. Hopefully you'll be able to find it. OK, what I did was copy the url from the Step 3...

    Weird Excel Format Problem

    A font change to the cell only changes the "Assy" part. The problem is the bad stuff font is the same as the good stuff font. If I change "Adaptor" to a different font and then back to the same font as "Assy" I still have the same problem, i.e. it goes back to the original problem.

    Weird Excel Format Problem

    This cell was copied from one Excel sheet to another. The original was all in the font used for "Assy". How did only part of it get changed and more importantly how to change it back? Copy format doesn't work. Grease ????????Assy, FWD If I delete the "Adaptor" part and start typing in its...

    Excel Help

    Put this in another cell like b1 =if(a1="dog",1,"") then do a sum Now if you just want to count the number of cells with dogs then you could use COUNTIF =COUNTIF(A1:A5,"dog") You can nest 7 IF statements so doing your % good and bad can easily be done...

    Excel Format

    You are correct; the number of points is always positive. One line or two won't have much effect on processing time for the few thousand lines I have to process but less lines is usually more better in my book. I'll just comment one method out so I can keep both methods. Someday when I'm...
