  Joe:  Many thanks.
  
  
  
  I admit that I have been biased in certain ways as a result of some military
  background, and flying certified aircraft after that.  This is my first
  experimental.  So please bear with the FNG until he learns the ropes a
  little better.
  
  
  
  Having said that, I'm confused about a lack of consistency.  It would seem
  to me that if you have 10 IVPs that all have the same Lancair fast build
  Continental TSIO 550 and no deviations from the instructions, that they
  would all run the same.  Reading the posts, it seems that 6 different guys
  operate their boost pumps 6 different ways.  Do you have any ideas as to
  what causes the variations in operating requirements?  I do not understand
  why some guys don't need to use their low boost, others need it on at 6k
  feet, others at 10k feet, and others only at cruise.   Others need high
  boost pump.  Why the variation, with the same plane and same engines?
  
  
  
  Perhaps "Safety Czar" is the wrong label for the function.  But it would be
  nice to have a repository of safety lessons learned, especially when things
  go really wrong or when birds go down.
  
  
  
  Thanks and Regards,
