PSA: heard a ramp guy in Denver say our connector pins fail more from ramp humidity than vibration
Never thought about it that way, but we do see way more corrosion on the Canon plug pins than cracked solder joints. Anyone else notice the same thing on planes that sit outside overnight?

That line about ramp humidity versus vibration really hits home. We had a King Air that sat outside in Houston for two weeks and the Canon plug pins looked like they'd been in salt water, green fuzz everywhere, while the solder joints were fine. The planes that live in hangars barely show anything. So yeah, that ramp guy might be onto something. Moisture just sits in those connectors overnight and does its thing slow and steady.
