2112. I copy. Thanks for the updates.
01:11
Yeah, what was previously burning, is either going to be light balust or H-back power air set down, so it's not putting out any more smoke.
01:17
So it's just going to be investigating from here and trying to isolate it, probably about 20-minute commitment time for these three units.
01:24
But I'd like to hold on to all three if that works.
01:28
That's affirmative.
01:29
That sounds like a good plan.

And it looks like a bad motor up here on the H-Pax.
04:33
It's secured.
04:36
I copy that.
04:38
Does it have a local disconnect up there for power?
04:42
Affirm, yes, turned off.
04:47
I copy, yeah, and maintenance is up there with you, right? So they're aware which one?
04:52
It's firm. Yeah, it's got its own power source, so it's shut off here at the H-packing.
04:57
So all the power can be shut back, or turn back on.

I copy that.
05:41
Do you have a need for the tax still, or are you doing it?
05:45
Uh,
