[Sir Tigger KC]

Wow all sounds very complicated, I'll stick with Sainsbury's pumps, just have to choose petrol or diesel...

Yes it's all beyond me and my CSE Grade 2 maths! 

[Doctor Gollum]

I understand how circuits work, but three phase is limited to generation of in a fundamental sense on aircraft. There was a module in my Part66 course about electrickery generation and distribution, but limited to fundamentals.

Avionics was never on my list of things to be that involved in beyond cable management and module replacement.

So you didn't do Arinc 419/429/664?. Probably no need for Stanag 3910/3838 or Mil-Std-1553/1771 on a people tube :-)

Stop showing off, Malcolm, it's not big and it's not clever 

[Doctor Gollum]

Without looking, a racking system...

The Part66 A course is for Mechs, so an idea of what is what is the result they're looking for. Actual wiring doings are the domain of B2s and they're a funny bunch

EWIS, Human Factors and Fuel Tank Safety are prerequisites for working anywhere near a commercial aircraft and any work carried out must follow the relevant AMM and CMMs relating to that task Ergo, this is limited to electrical component removal and replacement, so the knowledge base reflects this. 

What they do under the auspices of National Defence is entirely up to them

Against my better wishes, I've ended up putting my life at the mercy of Bloody Awful later this month. I like to know the quality of training of the people I come into contact with so that I can make informed decisions on how much they can be ignored

Something must attract you to that particular company, you keep coming back for more.

Unfortunately I won't be on your flight to mitigate the experience as currently grounded due to a perforated ear drum.

I can make suggestions to make your journey more agreeable if it helps. Obviously, specifics will depend on the ticket type and aircraft type.

[LC0112G]

It's my first BA flight for about 10 years. It's short haul from LHR T5, currently scheduled to be an A320, and we're in seats 24A&B EuroTraveller (AKA Scumclass). No point in going further forward or back, since AIUI unlike proper airlines (easyJet,Ryanair,TUi) BA don't sell Bacon Butties on the plane. Probably be full of 'murkins connecting from their overnight flights from the US.

Only positive selling point was that the timings were better than the alternatives, and LHR is slightly closer for us than LGW. Would much rather have gone from Bristol or Bournemouth, but we need to get to our destination by lunchtime and the other airports only have afternoon flights on the days we need.

[Doctor Gollum]

Euro traveller is OK. One seat row less than Easyjet, and if NEO aircraft then it's the same seats... Actually pretty comfortable having sat in them to Gran Canaria and back several times without issue.

Only handy tip that I can offer is to have a look at the Highlife Magazine online and if there is something particular that you want to drink or eat, then pre order it at least 72 hours before and it will be on board for you. This particularly applies to any hot food because it won't be on board unless you pre order it. Same for the return flight.

Depends on the route and time of day, but we can quickly sell out of things like prosecco and have nowt left for the return. Preoodering prevents this is preorders are loaded especially. Same for any duty free

Also, ask at Check in about upgrading to Club. Sometimes you can get lucky and get it for a fraction of the regular fare. This also applies to longhaul. 
If you want to pm me the flight details I can see if I know anyone operating it.

Pretty certain our feed here is 100A (or at least fused at that).  So assuming I don't use anything else (in my dreams), my schoolboy maths suggests 24KW

Or have I made a (schoolboy) error?

[TheBoy]

I'll check next time I'm over, but get a feeling Mum's 3 Phase supply is also 100A.

That would explain why the streetlights dim when her (electric) boiler fires up

.. but bad things would happen if everyone decided to draw 100A 24/7.

No, because its all green electric, so must be reliable, and can't be heating anything up along the way, as that's not green.

And, besides, that hoofing great big solar panel on the Blenheim land that can power all of Oxford, even at night, means that it all all be super.

100A service head is standard , but many are down-rated to 60 or 80 amp HRC fuse internally 

Also, didn't the DNO (distribution network operator) aka electric board  insist on hazardous location and explosion proof electrical fittings being used at your location following the "incident "
