A Story of Compressions

Here’s a little exercise on what you can do with RAG-AI and ChatGPT. Total time to get this data in this form was about two minutes.

Let’s ask a simple question of LogAir.ai charged with my maintenance data, “Give me CSV values of the compressions on the right engine over the past six years.”

I get the values after a few seconds. I copy the CSV values and run them over to ChatGPT and ask it, “Graph these values” I get:

Wow, that last annual wasn’t so good. Truth be told, we had some major avionics work going on and the Baron had been sitting a lot, not being flown probably a month prior.

Ok, wow. Gives me an idea. When will this engine be totally done? I think the lower limit for cylinders is a compression value of 30 PSI. When is that going to happen?

I suspect the engine will be using so much oil by then, I won’t be able to take any long trips ;). Hopefully, the cam and lifters will hold up as well. I know I’m just playing here. But here’s the output:

Great in 2040 I’ll be 86. No reason to stop flying!
