Look...I don't care anymore... Your handle is PilotDAR...sounds like an announcement You can't tell me if moving the conductor from the alternator to the Avionics bus in a C150 from the right side to the left side of the engine ( or visa versa ) is a major mod or not ...and you think you're an AME l...

So, in a way, I am an E,

Yup...all makes sense now...

..."tweaked" it...

I know who you are...you said you failed an stc inspection because of noise in the headsets as soon as you turned things on..."instant fail" you said...they then "tweaked" it and fixed the problem. Tweaked it you say! :lol: :lol: I remember...they simply disconnected a headset that had it's mic curl...

Wait a second.

Are you actually saying that if a doubler was installed to stop/prevent cracking you have to be able to still inspect under the doubler for cracking?

Wtf?

What if there is some...do you install another doubler. ?.again...??

So, in a way, I am an E, 

enough said...

The people who declare that they already know

Look...I'm an E...in the Electrickery thread all you did was question what I know about RFI.

Are you an E?

?..no...but YOU declare YOU know.

Hypocrite.

Oh...so should I quit? This whole thread was inspired because a very experienced maintainer was unsure about a maintenance task, and asked my opinion. When I considered his observations, I entirely agreed with him, and was able to add some relevant knowledge, based upon a previous experience I had h...

AD's are approved data, and only the authority can alter or clarify them Alter but Clarify?? Whoa you're full of yourself... It's a simple inspection...the manufacture told you what to do and you still disagree...it's an INSPECTION. So what the doubler is there...inspect the area... And if you thin...

"If in doubt about the existence or applicability of any AD, please consult your local TC Inspector, or TC Aircraft Certification, Continuing Airworthiness Division in Ottawa  Why would you continue to be so patronizing and post that! Yet leave the very important paragraph before out? To preclude o...

Don't read very well do you.

New agenda CID? What a guy you are...

...and know body has to do an AD if they choose not to.

Chew on that one...Mr law maker...

That's like saying it's law to have to have a driver's licence moron...

Ok this was exactly the scenario. Avionics manufacturer made a SB and it was covered under warranty. Units within a S/N range were affected. SB became an A/D Manufacturer became aware that certain S/N units they were covering under warranty did not require the SB because the change had been made dur...

Holy Cow you're unbelievable!

Look...I simply asked the question. I was not attempting to describe anything.

I know what a bloody AD is...and I know what a bloddy SB is for Christ sake you arrogant man.

 If it were only a Service Bulletin, the manufacturer could tweak it, but once it becomes an AD, it's kinda like and STC, any change must be approved.  See what you're saying but to play devil's advocate, AD's are usually produced in consultation with the Manufacture. In a lot of cases they are SBs...

Wow...

Yet here you are...

Whaaattt?.

Gyv, TS, Hop, Boot..nothing?

R we sure this guy isn't a "Troll" just trying to argue? I mean, all he's here to do is contradict you...

Mod's??



+1 ramped_up.

Worked in a place across the water that had a system in place that removed all fuel from tanks when maintenance of any kind took place. Zero fumes ( other than normal)...fuel was removed by pump and carried away by hose to a holding tank. All of it done in the hangar every time an aircraft was broug...

INDOOR DEFUELING PROCEDURES When an aircraft is scheduled for maintenance, the fuel system may have to be drained. Whenever possible, the aircraft should be defueled outdoors before it is moved into a hangar or maintenance tent. However, during routine maintenance disassembly, an unexpected conditi...

What the heck have I said that could've possibly "hurt your feelings"

W tf ever!

"hoping" that he defuels/fuels the right way 

Hoping the right way? Really?

Who would do that?

https://work.alberta.ca/documents/WHS-LEG_ohsc_p10.pdf

Hangars are Class I locations for fuel storage and handling...allowed under the OHSA

Even if their losses were covered, don't you think that not burning down their hangar would be a better outcome???

I don't get it HOPTWOIT..

So all airplanes should just stay on the ground then?

I mean...if you're not safe you could crash...so let's just never fly?

...completely off topic TS Boot...it's you that brought insurance up. Was the fire even started by defueling in a hangar? Yes...it was started by an AME that simply unplugged and extension cord when fuel was being handled in the hangar. I have seen a training package for a folding step ladder.... ye...

What r u talking about...I see what they mean? Doing it right is irrelevant ...that was your response to my post that you quoted...am I not allowed to respond if I disagree? . Go tell an Occupational health and safety inspector about commonsense... Now that would be just stupid...and THAT is common ...

it is a matter of what you (and your insurance company) consider acceptable risk... Really? Does your Adjuster have an office in your shop? Are you supposed to call and ask anytime you might do something "risky"? Did insurance cover AirSpray's losses? This is why my coffee cup says "HOT! Be careful...

Who am I to tell you that you can't. Uh...that's what my point was....and it's certainly not TCCA's place to say either. Fueling or de-fueling is no different at all as far as fumes go. I don't know what you mean by that And a 150 can be fueled or de-fueled safely in any hangar if the correct preca...

Unplugging a live extension cord on the ground around fueled aircraft in a hanger is a no-no let alone while defueling.

If any other maintenance at all is being done in the hangar it makes it very difficult to do it safely.
