Re: 767

neither of the systems are connected to each other in any way, so I am assuming it is to reduce the risk of making the situation even worse by losing an engine.
there is nothing mentioned in the MM or any of the Maint training manuals about it.

Re: Tools?

take advantage of the snap on discount that you will get from school. most aircraft are in imperial so your metric stuff from cars will not work. snap on: 1/4 drive shallow and deep sockets as well as universal/swivel sockets. all 12 point 1/4 drive extensions with the knurled bit on them offset wre...

Re: Central Mountain Air weekly job ad...

Three years ago the amount of CYYC maintenance people we had working the floor between the two shifts was 34. Now with a ton more airplanes they are down to 12. They are being asked to do more with less. Now you may think that the company was proactive and offering something to acknowledge the hard...

well at least he is honest. I find the job ads written by the DOM are the most informative. usually its "looking for an AME Dash-8 endorsed in YUL. $45hr." pretty much all the information you usually need. when HR writes an ad its 4 paragraphs of gobbledygook without the aircraft type or what airpor...

Re: Atlas Air 767

The CA was pulling so hard against the FO that he sheared the pins on the stick and at that point had no control. this is unlikely. the 767 has a cam type override which requires 25 pounds of force to disengage one column from the other. also the same thing at the tail. if the FO was holding full f...

not the first time, wont be the last.

Basic marshalling as taught to me by the Mi...

if the contacts are green and completely corroded they should be replaced. if we are talking about a little tarnish on the pins then LPS contact cleaner and a tiny piece of scotch brite will give them another year or so. there is a product called ACF-50 that is a corrosion preventive and a contact e...
