Lithium batteries: Guidance for crew members

After last month's meeting with Shane Goedvolk, I was compelled to look further into the dangers of Lithium Ion Batteries on aircraft. We all carry Phones, Notebooks, Tablet Computers and a host of other devices which use the Li-ion technology. Shane's company, Aerospace Logic, has been hired by Boeing to investigate solutions for this problem, so I'll take his view on the subject as valid. This video really illustrates the problem well. https://youtu.be/dEWOYjSYBLI

Hello Chapter 65 members and friends… One of the benefits of being in a club is the broad network of resources at your disposal. For this reason, we’re reaching out to see if anyone has, or knows of someone who has; a Continental O-200 Rear Case or a Continental C85 Rear Case which they wouldn’t mind parting with. One of our members in in need of one. If so, please contact him directly… Alojz Mihelcic alojz.mihelcic@gmail.com 905-692-9679 Thanks! I’ll be excited if this works! It will open up a big new resource!
