Customer Spotlight Citation Pilot Has Life of Adventure For someone who flew to Middle East hot spots from Bahrain, sniffer flights over a roiling Mount St. Helens, and survived life or death adventures on the high seas, 61-year-old Citation Pilot Bill Ross’ favorite leisure time activity is calm by comparison – fishing. Today he heads the flight department for Frazier Healthcare Ventures, one of the nation’s leading providers of venture and growth equity capital to emerging healthcare companies.
“I knew Sacramento when they were in the little teeny facility. They just had a canopy with an octagon pad when we went in there and started dealing with them,” Ross says. “I know the Sacramento people very well. They’ve been at my house and they’re the key to the whole operation.” Reliability Important Ross’ key to successful flight operations for Frazier Ventures, which demands tight scheduling, is reliability.

500, 525, 550, S550 and 560, ATA: 35-00 680, ATA: 27-40 Cessna Issues SLs for Oxygen Bottle Cessna has issued informational service letters instructing operators to make sure the hydrostatic test date is current for DOT-3HT-1850 rated oxygen bottles. (This includes portable oxygen bottles also.) The cause for the SLs is due to an error noted in several maintenance manuals, which incorrectly extended the hydrostatic test interval of the bottles to five years.

A six-digit format must be utilized when inputting the aircraft S/N on the Multi-Functional Display (MFD).
ask THE EXPERTS ANSWERS EXPERTS FROM THE CESSNA SUPPORT TEAM SHARE ADVICE AND SHED LIGHT Question How can I determine if the oleo struts are properly serviced during a visual inspection of the landing gear? Answer This can be accomplished by noting how much “chrome” of the oleo strut is visible.
