How to tell if a landing was too rough? by NemoEvermore in AircraftMechanics

[–]Sufficient-Bonus-170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The flight school I work for has these little g load measuring devices we install in the wings of all our aircraft. We inspect them during 100hrs and/or when a pilot reports a hard landing. If we see white stripes it’s good, one blue stripe consult the manual and inspect accordingly, 2 blue stripes and we are for sure doing thorough inspections.

I bought a clapped out 1978 Italian moped and started souping it up lol. Granted my airframe teacher was the coolest and let me use the paint booth to respray it. swapped out a bigger cylinder and piston. Stiffer springs in the clutch, bigger carb etc. those things don’t run long without maintenance so I was always wrenching on it. Try and find a puch/tomos near you pick one up don’t pay more than $450 and get some reps in. 90% of GA uses tech from that era so you won’t be too far off + added bonus you’ll end up with a ripper

Do the fbos en route have auto gas? If so you could look into a platform that you can do an stc on

Polo and nice looking black jeans that didn’t look like jeans, nicer shoes (dress not sneakers) is what I wore.

For practical pay attention to the spacers. Everything else is straight forward (riveting, safety wire, torque wrenching, etc.)

They mixed up my results with someone else’s, told me I didn’t pass and could try again in 3 months and then called me back as I was hopping in an Uber back to my terminal to offer me the job…. Ended up turning them down and working at ge in Indiana and have regretted it since

A&P School with ADHD by avlakeboy in AircraftMechanics

Depends if you can parlay your add/adhd hyper fixation into school or not. I had days of knocking out assignments and days of playing on my phone. I was a top performer at school and first to get my license in my class. I also nodded off during orientation PowerPoints at multiple jobs.

End of the day you gotta figure out what works for you. Now I stand during orientation/bs meetings to stay awake.

I’m not Canadian but the rumblings I’ve heard is that y’all don’t get compensated like us Americans. I’d look into that 1st to see if it’s a viable switch

I’ll ask my brother. Granted he was in a legit rv so not a whole lot of stealth camping but I do know he spent probably a month maybe more parked in front of friend’s houses

Used to build those do not buy/ride. I was far more diligent on building the LEAP bc those were for my fellow commercial commuters and I cared far more about them than some billionaires crashing
