Now that I’ve successfully sorted out all my gremlins (I think I’m pushing 75 hours since my last squawk), I thought I’d address my cabin squeaks.
I’m 99% it’s in the cabin behind me, and is most pronounced when braking or turning. It’s definitely not anything to do with the brakes. I suspect the braking is torquing the airframe a tiny bit which aggravates the squeak. I’m suspecting its panel edge rubbing. I was going to start with the large rear access panel, and put some electrical tape along the edge and see if that helps.
Luckily it either vanishes or I can’t hear it in flight. If I hit a long taxi section that’s feet off, it stops. A little rudder or brake and it comes back.
It’s an annoyance, not a real concern…but I can’t be the only one. I was hoping after my last annual that we’d accidentally fix it without knowing.
