PA28-181 usually has an O360-E4M. The "M" designates a counterbalanced crank. Look in your engine log and if this is your engine then you have a counterbalanced crank. If that is the case I wouldn't worry about the crankshaft issue. I just finished working on an IO 360 (homebuilt) with the lightspee...

I talked to one of the guys from Aero a week or two ago and he said they were doing the dash 8's for them.

Similar experience in yyc last fall. I'm an AME and hobby pilot. I Popped the top off of a brand new cylinder while flying by yyc in the dark in a single. I asked for immediate vectors to the nearest runway and got nothing other than competence and calm. Have to hand it to those guys, they are well ...

Hi, I can't speak for everyone out there but I think that you probably have it half right. I personally don't think that there are a lot of AME's out their looking for work. Most of the guys that I know that are qualified and experienced and were out of work when the economy went down, started drivi...

Check out Airworthiness Notice No. B041. You should be able to find this on Transports website if you don't still have the hardcopy. It will also refer you to CAR 605.86 and Standards 625, Appendix C

I'm guessing from this post that English isn't your first language. Transport Canada exams can be tough for those of us who are good with English and they can be nearly impossible for those who are not. If I'm right (about your English), then I think that you should focus on your English skills befo...

I was in one of the local shops to get some avionics work done on my own bird earlier this year and the local ga engineer was working on doing the SID on a 310. I asked him the same question so he pulled out a copy of the SID opened the cover and pointed to the effectivity. I can't remember the exac...

I can't really help you with the pre-employment test unless you are refering to the medical - Pretty thorough there. As for the people, it depends on which operation you will be going to. There are two separate groups in YEG and they are, the line maintenance guys for the main line and then there ar...

I could be wrong, but I expect that the reason that the ELT's have to be mounted to structure is because of the G-switch. If what ever its mounted to would just fold up or tear up (ie. skin) without first reaching enough G's to activate the switch then the whole thing is pretty useless. So following...

I'm not overly computer savy so I hope this cut and paste works the way I want it to but it is the specification mentioned above. TSO-C126 406 MHz Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) Applicable Minimum Operational Performance Standards (MOPS) RTCA DO-204 (Hardware) 2.1.13 Automatic Fixed (AF) Equipm...

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but, I believe that we are not allowed to attach the bracket to the skin. It has to be attached to structure.

I just took a recall working in YEG for AVEOS after 4 fun years working elsewhere and as a contractor. It seems like a good place to work - and there is lots of work, and this is one of the bases that they are hiring for. The guys all seem to get along well. I hear Winnipeg is a bad atmosphere but y...

I am also a connie through them, ditto the comments, they are up and running---stabilized, only time will tell. growth potential---unlimited. bombardierfixer, thanks for the map to valkenburg eventually it was usefull.
