Very professional. If you are not an instructor, you would make a great one! Please make more of these maintenance-related videos, they make wonderful ab initio and refresher videos! Thank you!
@@shadymohamed1613I think that’s a big ask. She would first have to find a plane that needs that and have an A&P IA that would sign off on the inspection (I’m assuming she’s an A&P licensed mechanic). It’s also a lot of time both in work and video editing for a full time student. I agree she has a great presence for producing educational videos though.
I am an automotive master mechanic and just recently started to study planes. I find it fascinating how many things are similar, but different. For example, we would not rivet a new brake lining onto the old backing plate, but replace the whole plate with new lining attached. You have been taught well and show that you paid attention. Keep up the good work and you will go far in your career.
I'm a retired guy helping a mechanic work on his older airplanes. I hope to get my A&P someday. I really appreciate your knowledge and skills, I learn much from your videos.
I’ve been maintaining airplanes for over 35 years including building an RV-4 and I certainly gathered some new and useful information here. Fantastic instruction! Keep it up. Looking forward to more.
The flow and enunciation makes learning the task so much easier. Unlike the time in Organic chem 2 my professor was Kenyan and no one could understand him unless he was screaming. Since then I seek those who put the effort in being clear and easy to understand.
Your passion for aviation shows in the level of detail, like Timothy wrote, it's the first time I've seen pad material being riveted to the backing plate..I'm a master motorcycle technician with a growing interest in aviation and getting my pilots licence .. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos
I'm learning how to work on my airplane (it's an Experimental, and I have an A&P I work with) and your videos are very helpful. Your oil and spark plug change video too -- just great. Please keep it up!
Very good. I agree with the instructor suggestion. You are becoming more relaxed doing these and they are getting better and better. Beautiful day for IFR!
Hi it was very intresting. I am a automotive technician but although the brake operation is similar the maintenance procedures ate diffrent. Studying A/P at Baker Aivation. Easy transition from car to aircraft
Isn't the caliper has a little piston which tend to sticks out as the pads get worn? So that when you install a fresh pad, being thicker, you would want to shove the piston in a little? Is the shoving doable, since you would be fighting the master cylinder? I am not 100% familiar, just thinking out loud. Great video!
Honest question (I have no mechanic experience): If there are only 12-25 landings in those backing plates, why re-use them? Are the new pads only expected to last that long as well? PS, great videos. I haven't seen anything like them on RU-vid and as a student pilot these are really helping me understand aircraft systems.
hockeytops the pads (or linings) that were removed were approaching the minimum thickness (3/32 of an inch) The new linings were riveted on to the pressure plate and the backing plate With a fresh brake job this airplane is now ready for hundreds of landings. So to recap:the pressure plate and the backing plate are the steel parts that the organic lining (pad) is riveted to
Do you mind me asking where you received your training? I'm looking at two different schools in my area (South Florida) to become an A&P Mechanic. Any advice is appreciated!
This is a Cessna R172E It may of been a military T-41B in the past. The civilian version is known as the Hawk XP with the same engine at a lower horsepower RPM
Ooo Voodoo Doughnuts! Great video! This is probably creepy but I think I recognize you from Wings of Freedom at BFI a couple months back lol; you were "that cute girl" I couldn't stop looking at... anyways, happy flying and good luck with school!
