other comments are spot on as well. I bought a 06 E350 that was great

Check the fuel pressures, if not steady it's a pump or relay.

A client was telling me about something relatively new on aircraft.
Cannot recall what plane but he says there is a newer system on an
aircraft that he recently flew on that cancels noise. There are a
series of brass grommets for lack of a better description along the
upper wall in the cabin.
I don't know about noise cancellation like that but I'd read about how the 787
has a bunch of noise buffering and quieting techniques. Having flown in one it
is by far the quietest plane I've ever been in.

It's intriguing all right, but I'm reserving judgement since it could be a
hoax. I base that on the near vertical flight. It would be interesting to know
the weight of the plane and the power of the eight engines. Of course he could
have "made a run for it" so that inertia was added to the verti

I wonder if that's somehow related to the noise canceling system
developed by Bose a few years back? It started as hearing protection
(IIRC) in airplanes so and is now being sold in hearing protection for
shooting sports and others.

I bought a set of Winchester electronic earmuffs and they are much nicer
than the HF dumb-muffs. $10 at cdnn.com Low db sound is transmitted,
high db sound is limited. Probably different 'lektroniks, but the
noise cancelling in the Blue Parrot headsets is probably similar to the
aircraft.
So this is a true story. Back in 1968 when I was 14 I was visiting my aunt and

Is your mechanic familiar with KE-Jet injection? It's mechanical, not

Cuts out and backfires could easily be an over-rich condition, too. Or bad
