mhoffman Posted December 3 Report Posted December 3 Hey everyone, Went up for a flight the other day and during the taking off and climb I noticed my detector going off up to 90 ppm . However once we leveled out it went down to zero and was that way the rest of the flight. I turned on cabin heat and it still didn't go above zero. Has anyone seen this behavior before ? Thanks Mike

Thanks Mike I would bet that your cabin door seal is letting it in. You might also check to see if you're missing any camlocs on the belly.
exM20K Posted December 3 Report Posted December 3 If you have a single piece belly panel, make sure it is lapped correctly, tucked under the bottom cowling. I’ve had my plane returned to me after service twice like this. 1 1

The forward belly panel edge should be tucked *under* (deep) the the lower engine cowl, correct, so that things flow along the outside? I have to go back and look at my plane. It seems that there is a lip in the picture above, which is lapped/tucked under, but you're saying more should be inserted under? Per other advice (maybe from you) I had them put some stripping at that seem to prevent ingress of TKS fluid. I have been having CO problems, so maybe there's a subtle joining/lapping issue I'm missing. David

The left-to-right seam is what needs to be tucked under the forward panel. Exhaust blows right on this area. -dan
