I, ARTICLE 358 FLOWN TWICE 27 AUG FIRST TIME WITH FUEL
TANK OUTBOARD RAM TUBES REMOVED, LIGHT CAME ON AT TWELVE
THOUSAND FT DURING DESCENT AS INDICATED REF PARA 1, YO YO
TEST EQUIPMENT NOT AVAILABLE. THIS LOCATION,
2, TANK OUTBOARD RAM TUBES WERE INSTALLED ON SECOND
FLIGHT, RAIN SHOWERS WERE AVOIDED ON CLIMB OUT, TWO CLIMBS
AND TWO DESCENTS WERE MADE TO ALTITUDE, LOW LEVEL LIGHT
DID NOT COME ON,
3, RESULTS OF THESE TESTS FURTHER STRENGTHEN THEORY THAT
HEAVY COLLECTION OF MOISTURE IN RAM TUBES HAVE BEEN FREEZING
AT ALTITUDE AND PREVENT PROPER VENTING OF TANK PRESSURE ON
DESCENT,
4, CONSIDER ARTICLE IN COMMISSION AND SAFE TO FLY ON
LONG RANGE FLIGHTS BUT WILL ATTErPT IN SO FAR AS POSSIBLE TO
AVOID HEAVY RAIN ON CLIMB OUT,
