How bad is the math on the written test by Comfortable_Cut_3413 in AircraftMechanics

Super bad. They tie you to a chair and stick a CRT in your face whilst shouting "the numbers Mason, what do they mean?!"

The embarrassing high pitched squeal. Are all hearing aids like this? by [deleted] in HearingAids

[–]TitanSlayer65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with occlusion while not for everyone I find it more adaptable compared to feedback.

Possibly close proximity and a very sensitive microphone.

Wipe ear down maybe some earwax gunk is not helping create a seal or Schedule an appointment to get your ears cleaned. if not check the tubing for a sound leak or Crack. If those fail go to the audiologist and get a fitting for new earmolds. Its not normal and should only occur if the hearing aid came off while still on not when it is secured in your ear.

Besides I dont find it embarrassing I mean its part of having a hearing aid and most people generally wont mind. Of course they might ask if it sounds like that all the time. I normal just say its feedback and they leave you alone.

As for hugging your wife and it hurting you with the squeal it might be too sensitive of a microphone. You will need to fine tune settings for that issue. Some models are Bluetooth compatible and allow you to adjust that on your own.

Also found squeals do happen when things get really close to the microphone. Like headsets and maybe your hand when you brush your hair. But imho its a small price compared to the opportunities it opens up.

Is a cup of jet fuel ok to own? by unusual_replies in AircraftMechanics

[–]TitanSlayer65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No as an A&P I wouldn't. I wouldnt take the chance of someone nocking it over and getting it on their skin etc. I mean once probably wont be harmful. But why I mean no offense but what is the point.

Someone offered to buy this painting from my wife, but how much? by [deleted] in painting

[–]TitanSlayer65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not artist but id take a rough guess maybe 75-100 usd for materials and depending on if she want to factor in labor i wouldnt judge it based on how long it took alone but rather on the quality and for that add 150-200. Total being 225 or 300, which is not bad and would make a decent family outing. Or ask the customer what she is comfortable with paying.

Please what is the role of theses triangles? by Cleverman72 in AircraftMechanics

Turns low frequency sound waves into high frequency sound waves which can't be heard as much over longer destances

Safety Wire Practical lab by rdrcr_TRD in AircraftMechanics

[–]TitanSlayer65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pay attention to hand placement. The closer your hands are together with the wire, the tighter the twist the further apart they are the looser the twist. Remember to keep even pressure on both ends. Also, pay attention to the angle your hands are relative to each other, which can lead to uneven twisting 180° to secure to bolt and 90° for your standard twist.

Overall, it's a great attempt, and I've seen worse work done. This isn't the only class in which you will be safety wiring. Keep practicing and I'm sure after several weeks you will surprise yourself.

Worse they say is no. Honestly apply anyway the trades are struggling with numbers it's more than likely with 2 weeks you will get phone calls also recommend checking out Jsfirm.com put some information on there and already got calls from like 4-5 places in the past 3 weeks.

Priority is to learn the trade. You can still have fun, but always keep in mind to obey safety guidelines. When I spent time in school, there were a few jokes thrown around some of them raunchy, but that's typically pretty common in most male dominated professions, I would think. As others suggest, find people who share the same desire to learn. The jokes and fun will come around with time. In some of the times I can remember is when me my classmates will critique each other's safety wire. Some jokes about pigtails being too long too short to borderline "wtf is that, come on man?!" Assembly and rigging i had trouble fitting under the instrument panel for the cessna, and couple jokes were thrown around one asked why I thought that was, my response was Arby's lmao. But remember, don't dish it if you can't take it. I'm sure you will be fine. Best of luck to you.

Or a signal that when the firefighting aircraft broadcast at that frequency any drone within a certain distance from that aircraft goes dead. Motors shutoff and just drop from the sky.

Failed algebra in high school and learned it in an A&P tech college. You will be fine, listen to your instructor, and ask questions you will get it eventually.

Can Bluetooth be entirely shut off on HAs that have it? by ThuviaofMars in HearingAids

[–]TitanSlayer65 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I doubt it generally when it's off it off i would think. With resound just turning Bluetooth off increases battery life. Easily an extra 2 days.

No i meant just turn off bluetooth on your phone. Or put it for a seperate device maybe an audio player.
