Old video, working on a 421C that had used the blowdown bottle. I was extremely green and this was my first time ever dealing with hydraulics on my own. I’ve come a long way since then but this video made me laugh when I found it this morning.
Item: PT-6 exhaust duct insulation blanket.
Found during annual inspection.
I wan’t some high end sockets with a good warranty, and a brand that supplies low profile, deep, 6 and 12 point etc…. Unfortunately ICON is limited. I’ve heard koken is pretty high quality, and made in Japan. What are some opinions, worth it? Is there better (besides tool truck brands)? Thanks in advance!
Finally got around to shadowfoaming my tools after having them all loose in my box for a good few months, ive still got space for maybe 2 more pliers in my pliers draw and I was thinking knipex cobras and large vise grips.
Ive also got another shallow draw completely empty (not pictured) any tool recommendations on what I should get thats been useful for you ?
Not trying to offend anyone, just to my guys working today, hope yall can get home in time to spend a few hours with family
Just got off, going to grab some Chinese food and go drink a adult beverage
Hey all!
Hopefully this is allowed but I’m super excited to share a project I’ve been working on. I am a ramp/CS agent and Flight Instructor. I’ve worked in the industry for over 3 years and love the feeling of being on the inside of the operation.
It’s been hard to find a place where retired and current employees share history, stories, and pictures. I’ve been getting into coding and this is the project I’ve used to learn how to spin up and deploy a website. My goal is that my experience with this project will give me the skill I need to develop other aviation related websites.
It’s still on version 1, so I’m sure there will be more bugs. Feel free to send any feature requests to me directly. If you have a second please stop by and share a photo or interact.
I really want a lot more maintainers and tech ops folks to contribute and share their experiences and tell their stories!
I am so hopeful this is another spot where those obscure stories and pieces of airline history, that are seldom shared, can be discussed. This is such an awesome community to be a part of and you all are the best!

Was given a Dewalt palm sander today. In two months I get my A&P, I’m haven’t decided where and what field to work in. How useful is a Palm sander in aviation maintenance, should I sell or keep it?
Hi colleagues!
It might finally be my time to apply for an EASA license 🥳🥳
As I’m italian and I’m working for an italian part 145, logic would be for me to apply for an Italian license BUT, in my opinion, italian authority works veeery bad and, as I’m European, I should be able to apply with every EASA authority. Unfortunately, lot of authorities “don’t have capabilities to process more people than natives and people working in that state” but some authorities, Malta and Austria for instance, accept everybody and, apparently, they work in a “human” way (at least, compared to Italy).
Malta, moreover, is also already recognizing my company’s internal OJT for B1, which is a great thumb up, so I was thinking to proceed with them.
What I was wondering is: is there any kind of ranking between different EASA licenses or, as long as it is an EASA license, every license is the same?
Which would/do you prefer:
- More Pay or a Better Schedule?
* How many years experience do you have?
Just wondering what can you actually do with an A license?
