The RTU one got me good. Reminds me of when a guy grounded one of our 328’s for a DU4 fail. We went over and found out he just dimmed it to full black.
LOL…that center pedestal gets treated like park bench, I once had a captain spill a can of coke on the center pedestal of a 767. That was a very expensive can of coke because someone didn’t use the cup holder. Keep them coming and keep them flying.
In your mind you think things will be different in commercial world….. but it’s just more paperwork 😂. Pilots not gonna admit it, squawk read “RTU quit in flight”……
“Mx control: We got a plane AOG please send guys” Literally everyone at the hangar asking if it’s a 200 vs a 7/9 before they sign their soul a way for potentially a week.
Start school end of this month, Im excited and nervous. Just trying to do better for myself and get a career. I stay in GA so ik they paying airplane mechanics' good
Hello I R Wayright, I am a retired A/P-I/A 40 years in the business, the last 35 years as the owner of a busy G/A shop. I have seen your comments in other posts sounds like you have been around the block also!
Our shop is very weird in that regard, most of us haven’t been around the block, we just trying to find it! 90% of the shop is under 35, when we travel to other airports it seems like 90% of other shops are over 55
I put this comment in the wrong section, was replying to I R Wayright in the section where he quizzed about the Cardinal prop problem. Sorry I shouldn’t have given the answer until you guys thought about it. Good to see some young blood in the business. If you get a problem with older Cessnas, twin Cessnas, Pipers, Beechcraft, or Mooneys I have probably seen most problems put it on here and if I have seen it I can help you out.
I've been a ground communications tech for over 20 years, and I've had bosses tell me to swap stuff out, just tear things apart because of a simple issue but in their mind it must be bad, that would drive me nuts. I would often tell the dispatch console operators that the radios do not like coffee or chocolate. Cant understand why the transmiter won't un-key. Of course, they deny ever doing that but the bottle of coke and bag of candy sitting there isn't just jumping into their fat asses. Party on!
Lol you would think they would waterproof that area on the crj a bit better at least it dint shut down an engine mid flight like the A220 does when you spill drink on the pedestal
The Wera tools are on Amazon, which kit is it? Thanks, and again make the videos a bit longer. There was a series a while back made for A&P life(he worked Pilatus) I think he flys now..nonethe less good show.
That’s the 3/8 set but the 1/4 set is good to Wera Zyklop 1/4 & 3/8 SAE ratchet sets tabletop review and Wera brand overview / features ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XE3nFC84esM.html
I have the 1/4 drive too. Did a tabletop review of them on my other channel “creative mechanic”. Go back and look at my industrial maintenance toolbox tour their and you’ll see I’ve been running Wera for a long time! I have a few snap ons as well. Low profile and indexing ratchets
Okay you hot shots, here is a test for you. 23 years a ago I was first exploring around the internet and found a discussion group on light airplanes. Someone was having trouble with a Cardinal that had just reinstalled an overhauled engine, prop and governor. It worked fine on the ground but once in the air the prop would surge 200 +or-rpm. So they borrowed a different prop with no joy. Swapped the governor, still the same. What was the problem? I gave them my diagnosis which was correct. Can you?
🤔 so what changes on ground vs in flight….. airflow, air density, 🤔…. Puzzling. I’m stumped but me and the boys will think about it in the morning meeting
@@aviationsquared1909 GJ got it. When on the ground the oil was cooler than after climb out and it was at full operating temperature. The front main bearing clearance was too large resulting in a sufficient amount of now thinner oil leaking back into the crankcase instead of getting into the prop dome to control the pitch correctly.
