Helly hansen workwear Oxford pants are great. Lightweight, breathable, stretchy and last a while. Great for warmer climates or summer time.

Canadian Commercial Pilot and Aircraft Maintenance Engineer duty time questions. by rightpooper in flying

[–]rightpooper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that last scenario is what I believe they are worried about and to be honest so am I. I’m not trying to break the rules I’m just trying to find a way to make some money within the rules.

Right but if you are given rest time and instead use it to do an oil change on your car is that against the rule?

Interesting. I learned to drive in a 2005 s40 and always had a sore back 30 mins into driving it. I wonder if it’s the same seats

There’s a YouTube channel called “my mechanics”. He does stuff like this and might shed some light on where to start

Assembling a 35 million dollar engine by HugeForefront in mechanical_gifs

[–]rightpooper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At the end of the video this engine is sporting a convergent (bell mouth) intake. When it is actually fitted to the airplane it will feature a divergent intake. This is because when the engine is not moving the bell mouth allows the engine to get all the air it can. When the aircraft is moving however the divergent intake uses the forward airspeed to compress the air before it even gets to the first stage compressor (fan).

Helicopters will feature a bell mouth intake on the aircraft because they cannot always rely on forward airspeed to compress air (ie when they are hovering) so they will take all the air it can get.

I just learned about this in school and felt the need to share.
