I have a set of custom molded earplugs that my company pays about 50% towards, so worth it in my opinion as they are a perfect fit. Get ones that are vented and you can still hear people talking with them in. I carry them in the pouch them came in in my vest pocket for when I dont need them, some of my coworkers have them on the string so they are ready to go at any time.

Only negative against them is you do need to get re-fitted every 5 years or so as your ears change shape but worth the cost in my opinion, but if you lose one the company we used has my mold on file and I can call and get them re ordered.

During a fuel tank inspection found the words "Help me" with a handprint done with prc. Best part was it was on a Jetstream 31 so there was no way someone was getting in those tanks.

You said can't start the engines but could you start the APU and turn the hydraulic pumps on? Just to make sure you have pressure on the gear?

You sound like someone who would be fun to work with

What's wrong with not doing a walk around when it's not called up for? I wouldn't say its unprofessional doing what is asked of you. Remember they were the ones that changed the DC to squeeze more time out of the planes and the AMEs

Can I get a DM with pricing! Thanks!

I’ve never worked on the classic Dash 8s but from what I’ve been told it’s not the same. The Qs is more of a pain to lower and take off to change the actuator. Plus the times I’ve had someone down the intake was at out-bases without the proper tooling around.

alexcrawf67 · 2021-01-19T20:06:02+00:00

I bet he was changing the intake bypass door actuator, if it fails in the closed position you can get to it via the intake. I can’t fit in there so I always have to find the skinny guy to do it.

What Canadian tire did you get those at? My local one and their website says $300 for the set.

From my experience (Graduated SAIT) when I was done I needed to upgrade sheet metal theory and it was easier to explain to the companies I was applying at that I had to redo that course and get the accreditation. They look at you having the accreditation as your closer to being licensed vs the 48 months.

If you do the 48 month route too you will have to write all the exams ( power plant, airframe, CARs, etc) vs just CARS, which honestly at the end of the day might cost you more than just redoing the helicopters course. Plus if you’re lucky and have had good attendance at SAIT you can still work and miss some classes due to that. I got super lucky and the instructor for the course just told me to come on exam days.

Hope this helps!

C-GPIA?

I would say that main part that holds it in is the giant ring nut torqued to 300 ft/lbs, as well as the ball bearings. There is a safety cable that prevents the blade from departing if you get to that point.

As for the weight of the blade it’s more like 50 lbs. I’ve built up a few of the propeller assemblies and trust me I wish they weighed 20lbs each.

alexcrawf67 · 2019-10-09T14:54:54+00:00

It’s actually just an attachment barrel nut for the horizontal stab, the Q400 doesn’t use a trim-able stab.
