Re: Weekend Feild Annuals
I once considered doing the same thing, but due to the reasons posted and the amount of equipment and tools needed i decided a shop can do a better inspection in a hangar, Also the shops and AME's who do the inspection with a pen could be my competition, difficult to compete against someone who neve...

Re: Prop spinner
You would have to look in the Maintenance manual or type certificate, some aircraft can be operated without a spinner providing you remove the backing plate, some cannot.
reasons for removal could be cracking, i have seen a lot of cracked spinners and backing plates.

Re: M2 Fixed Wing transition to M1 or M2 helicopters
Get a job at a helicopter operation, they send you on a type course and that is it no separate license anymore.
I am not sure how the job market is for helicopter AME's but for fixed wing there are lots of openings

Re: Air Astana EMB190
I suspect the intercept was there so there were some witnesses and perhaps a reliable recording in the event things ended horribly. great job by the crew, Those cold beers are well deserved! As for the possibility of the ailerons being reversed. whenever i rigged any flight control or was asked to p...

Re: AME M1 APPRENTICESHIP
it looks like it matters who your TC inspector is. maybe find someone in your area who just went threw the process and ask them.
the additional tasks i had recorded meant nothing to TC, just the ones on the magic spread sheet

Re: Top Paid AMEs
Interesting It would be great if one of the AME associations or all of them could do a salary survey similar to what the AMT magazine did years ago, maybe they still do and i just cannot find it. If i recall they had region and large Airline, regional, corporate, and GA it is a bit complicated with ...

Re: ICS Canada AME Course
The best way the ICS course works is if you are an E licensed person and want a M or you already have a job and a AMO of flying club, and need it to get a license. I know of a few you got a start like this, first they got a job then they liked it then took the ICS course and eventually got a AME lic...

Re: Bombardier considers move away from Downsview
True about YKF i am not sure how much flying would be done in the night which is what they dislike the most. as long as deliveries and testing take place after 8am people should not complain. I think most of thier past complaints were when Nolonor's old 737's took off around 7am YQG not sure if the ...
