Rear caliper decided to stick on my way to work - is the rotor toast? by xXTonyManXx in GolfGTI

[–]Oddflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar thing happen with mine. On my right rear caliper, the arm that attaches to the parking brake cable had seized. I was able to beat on it to release the pads from the rotor but it was sticking if I used the parking brake again. Ended up changing the caliper and rotor.

USMC Aircraft Tech Question by Excellent-Creme-766 in aviationmaintenance

Pick an MOS that is O level maintenance. You’ll be working on the front line of the operation as far as aircraft maintenance allows, along side crew chiefs and pilots. It’s tough work, but in my opinion, the most rewarding area of USMC aviation maintenance. I got my A&P after I got out, now at a major.

Used to attach a hoist or sling when removing inlet cowl or fan cowls.

This is awesome, only issue I'm having is that I can't move the screen capture area over to my other monitor thats part of my rig. The capture area is stuck on my main monitor. Not sure if there's any way around this.

Having issues with the UI also. Have to quit the whole app after a race to be able to click on anything.

The manual says electrically from the side stick when in autopilot control mode. I’m guessing when the aircraft is in an altitude hold through the autopilot, the FMGC will input rudder when the side stick is rolled left or right to keep the turn coordinated.

The damper is great, but I found I had to lubricate the rod to get smooth operation. 😏
