At first I said that I wouldn't wish this on anyone, now I kinda wish some of yall would have had to pump that gear down. The second-guessing is seriously getting under my skin.



Hitch up your big boy britches. I know what the attachment looks like on an electric power pack. What's the engine driven one look like? How's the handle connect to the manual transfer pump on your airplane?  My Google-fu is weak and haven't found a proper photo. I assume you've taken some.

You've not said definitively you're flying an engine driven or electric hydraulic system. Which is it on this airplane?

My plane was in the shop and I wanted to go to Houston to see my friend (Who was passing through Houston with another friend while getting his Multiengine addon)

It's an engine driven hydraulic pump.

The photo focus sucks, but they do seem like *cough* very minor *cough* heat burns... which is really scary, I was hoping it was pilot overeagerness and not a potentially combustable situation onboard your aircraft.

OK, now THAT could generate enough heat through the hydraulic system to burn you while also not burning it (the pump or pressure-generating device) completely out. 

See, and here most us thought you were just spending too many evenings at home, alone with too much time to spend infront of your computer, and then got stuck flying a later-model 210 with an auxiliary/independent electric hydraulic pump (power pack).  :aok

What's the production year/serial number on that specific 210, if you may happen to know, out of curiosity?

They look alot better, I got an ice pack on them pretty much as soon as I got out of the airplane, that kept them from looking too bad.

It's a 1967 210H SN 21058948

There was smoke, too, which means that there was a combustible situation hot center console or not.

Not necessarily. A little oil leaking out of the right seal can do wonders when mixed with hot bleed air and aside from the fumes not be a real fire hazard. 

Wait till you fill the cabin with flies or worse yet, wasps. I opened the cabin heat ducts one cold morning doing traffic reports when the primary airplane got back from an engine overhaul. It's like a hundred dormant flies came to life and the only solution was to open the windows and shovel them out with a chart.  Wasps were worse.

Did the wasps build a nest inside the plane?

Ram air vents. If they were a problem in the rental fleet hangar we taped them up when not in use so not much of a nest could be built.  I was doing training in someone's personal airplane in this instance.

It's not uncommon for critters to next there. I started doing more thorough checks for nests around the engine when one airplane taxied in smoking under the cowling.
