Airplane fact of the day: With Pratt & Whitney radial engines, since the 1940s there's been this neat little tradition where after an engine is overhauled, a penny with the year it was done is installed & safetywired to the engine. It'll be getting a new penny soon since it was just overhauled :]

Took the 540 out for runs this morning. Since it was a prop strike inspection and we didn’t have to replace any piston rings or cylinder components, I didn’t have to do a full break in run, which is 90 minutes at varying power intervals. This run up was more focused on getting her up to temperature and making sure she made full power with no leaks, so I got away with less than an hour on the stand. Post run checks were positive with no abnormal metal contamination or other indications of issues. Another successful build, and she’s off to her owner in the next couple days.

Choosing A Headlamp For Aircraft Mechanics

When choosing a headlamp as an aircraft mechanic, there are several factors to consider. Here’s a guide to help you select the right headlamp for your needs. Learn more at https://greasepilot.com/best-headlamp-for-aircraft-mechanics:

Brightness: Look for a headlamp with sufficient brightness for your work environment. Consider the lumens rating, which indicates the light output. Higher lumens generally result in brighter illumination.

Beam Distance and Focus: Assess the beam distance of the headlamp, as it determines how far the light can reach. Some headlamps offer adjustable focus to switch between a wide flood beam and a focused spot beam, providing versatility for different tasks.

Lighting Modes: Check if the headlamp offers different lighting modes such as high, low, strobe, red light, or night vision mode. These modes allow you to adjust the brightness and choose the most suitable lighting for various situations.

Battery Life and Power Source: Consider the battery life of the headlamp, especially if you require extended usage. Look for headlamps with longer runtimes or those that are rechargeable. Evaluate the power source (batteries or built-in rechargeable battery) and ensure it is convenient for your needs.

Durability: Aircraft maintenance often involves demanding environments, so opt for a headlamp that is rugged and durable. Look for headlamps with impact resistance, water resistance, and dust resistance to withstand the conditions you may encounter.

Comfort and Fit: Consider the headlamp’s weight, size, and comfort features such as adjustable straps or padding. Ensure it fits securely on your head without causing discomfort during extended use.

Hands-Free Operation: As an aircraft mechanic, you need both hands free for work. Choose a headlamp that provides easy and reliable hands-free operation, allowing you to focus on your tasks without worrying about holding a flashlight.

Additional Features: Some headlamps may offer features like a tilt or swivel mechanism to adjust the beam angle, a lockout feature to prevent accidental activation, or compatibility with accessories like helmet mounts.

Reviews and Recommendations: Read customer reviews and seek recommendations from other professionals in the aviation industry to gather insights on headlamp performance, reliability, and suitability for aircraft maintenance work.

By considering these factors and your specific work requirements, you can select a headlamp that provides the necessary brightness, durability, and functionality to assist you in your aircraft mechanic duties.

It is because home is one of the best places that have great importance in your life. Additionally, the garage is also one of the important places in your house to count on. It is a place where you spend most of your quality time doing stuff with your vehicles.

A funny instance; when your mom does not allow you to party at night. Then the only space you find is your garage. HAHA….. Just kidding!

Many happy and sad memories of you and your family are attached to home. So, it is essential to keep your home and garage safe to look attractive and work efficiently for a longer duration. There are many different ways to enhance the appearance of your garage. One of the best things you can do is repair or replace your old front entryway with the highest quality garage doors Toronto.

The front entry door plays a vital role that boosts the value of your garage. There are many manufacturers and retailers available in the market and offer you the best composite front entry within different designs and colors. But it is very difficult to choose from them. So, for your help here are some best tips that are considered below to keep in mind while choosing the best door company.

Let’s get started!

#1 Experience

First and most important factor is experience. Years of experience represent everything about a particular company. It is the best way through which you can get a clear idea about their work and services. To choose the best services always go with experienced firms. The longer a business has been around, the more likely they are to have strong financial backing. Also, their warranty can withstand with time. 

#2 Ask whether the installer is a contractor or an employee of the supplier

Before doing anything, it is very essential to know that the installer is a contractor or employee of the supplier. If he/she is an employee of a supplier, then you can trust them without any inconvenience. This is because if the installer does something wrong, you can directly talk to the company owner instead of any middleman. 

Moreover, if the installer is an employee of the supplier then you don’t have to worry about anything. These installers have a wealth of knowledge and experience. They perform the best installation. 

#3 Reputation of Company

In rare cases, many companies can be run around for many years but still have a misbalance reputation. So, it is very essential to properly investigate all things. This task is very easy and you can do it with the help of website reviews, photos of after and before work. With all these, you get a good idea about the company, how to work and what to expect during installation. 

To make it easy, Dortech Garage Doors can offer a perfect solution to your garage door needs. They repair and replace your old doors with state-of-the-art techniques, offering incredible results. What is the wait for? 

#4 Quality of Materials

Quality of work and materials both are very essential in anything. If the quality of material and work is good, you don’t have to worry about maintenance or repair for a longer duration. During finalizing any supplier for replacing your garage doors toronto, you must check which type of product is used during manufacturing; does the company have the right materials?

Sometimes there are many companies that purchase doors from a third party and you don’t have depth-knowledge and explanation about energy efficiency, low E, combustion of material, and more. So, try to purchase from local builders because they are built with quality material.

From dry fit for bearing measurements yesterday to fully closed and assembled today. I’m switching tracks this week from TCM engines back to a IO-540 Lycoming that had a prop strike. The work involved in the inspection and repair following a prop strike is usually as much as an overhaul. Everything must still be disassembled, inspected, and major components sent for NDT. The list of parts required might not be as long, depending on the situation, because the mandatory parts replacement of an overhaul isn’t normally applicable. Sometimes the damage is significant enough to warrant an overhaul for the sake of costs, but luckily for this customer that wasn’t the case.

Today's plane return-into-service is scrapped in the eleventh hour due to a combination of the customer's own maintenance personnel screwing up their own paperwork and the peculiarities of our 25 year old maintenance tracking software.

Which leads to me waiting on the ramp for three hours (to guide the leaving plane out of our ramp) for nothing. At least the weather's nice today, and I got an excuse to watch the runway while on the clock!
