Valve caps on tires ?
 

refer to manufacturers specifications ? Not in 43-13, accepted procedures and practices either, How about Part 65 in preventive maintenance, Gee how about EAD's SB's hmmm. did he want you to bring him 100' of flight line or some relative bearing grease ? :O

Brigid, care to enlighten us on anything specific in the pubs you mention?

Hitcher, thanks for your contribution, it's turned this thread into thread into great source of entertainment. If you're for real though, I can assure you that I have never had any maintenance occurrences in flight due the fact that the over paid engineers missed something on preflight :E, however there have been a couple of situations occur due to my own negligence.

This is really funny....From a jockey expressing authoritarian sentiments whilst asking a legitimate question, to car tyres and bicycles.....And then The Hitch steps in.

This forum is usually quite boring but I have had a serious laugh reading your posts Hitch. As Pez said...Keep 'em coming...

What I also find highly ammusing is thinking about what must be going through your mind when you are at work and observing the Engineers and Pilots going about there business. You must really enjoy your shifts utilising your licence securing aircraft.......Oh !!!!.....your not one of those security guards that carry a gun are you........

Hahahahaha

" or the heavily blood stained torque spanner in my van....."

:= That constitutes incorrect use of tools old chap...and think about the recalibration problems thereafter.....you really should know better.....now, a jacking handle...:ok: on the other hand would serve exactly the same purpose.... and would only need some Kim-wipe after use....;):D

On a serious note, I would concur with forget and his more than feasible escalation of matters c/o the individual concerned. OK, he is entertaining in his own demented way, but I also feel he's not a wind-up merchant..his posts ( various ) have a consistency to their content if you read them carefully and thus I get a very strong sense of an impending serious problem in the making.

Somwehere along the line I missed the "keen simmer" quote. Enough said:{

Likewise, if this attitude continues he could become a danger. Wherever The Hitcher works, be vigilant!!:eek:

"as a keen simmer i am well aware of what is safe and what is not "

:yuk:Does your sim simulate defects too like tyre cuts, tread wear and missing hatches, oil/hyd leaks then? Does it serve coffee and provide crew to chat to?

You really are a treasure.

This is the same character who as a "keen simmer and spotter" is berating his fellow spotters for "using daft spotter speak"

What is a "senior licensed aviation security officer" anyway?

Would assume this gent is qualififed to grab nutz in the sake of preventing threats to air safety.

I see Hitcher is looking for CFM56/V2500 engine course notes in the spotter section, maybe one of you kind lot can help him out?

I wonder if he is planning on checking/resetting filter bypass indicators or maybe pop the master MCD out for a quick look on one of his walkarounds as a result of his new found knowledge.

:):):) Brilliant:ok:

Didn't copy the post about crashing the sim into Lego Land, if anyone still has it please repost, it was brilliant!:ok:

I want some advice from The Hitcher on a change of career as I feel as an LAE I'm not getting enough satisfaction, maybe you could give me some tips on how to make it in the security business? Where I really struggle is minding my own business and telling other people how to do their jobs. Oh and feeling up strangers b@lls.

PS How many moons are there on your planet?

There's a difference between being vigilant and second guessing people when you're not qualified to do so. Don't try to back-track and make a sensible comment after all your previous put-downs about both engineers and pilots as your card is already marked:=.

You've said a great deal more than that. How about 3rd December.

Now that's a statement from someone who's not playing with a full deck. Given that you've also been asking for engine manuals, and various other operating info, if you were on the other side of the Atlantic you'd be on a limited diet by now. Actually, I'm a little surprised you haven't been invited to a chat here!

Yes I agree, limited diet and bright orange coveralls.:eek:

Well you as a "Senior Licensed Aviation Security Officer" should have picked up on that one earlier (and I'm not your mate)

The Hitcher, as a security "expert", would you agree with the following statements?

1) A person, who has absolutely no need be in possession of them, is attempting to obtain detailed technical publications pertaining to engines fitted to various types of commercial airliners. This same person holds an airside pass and apparently has the opportunity to access aircraft unsupervised. This individual has demonstrated that they hold a grudge against 2 groups of people who are directly responsible for the safe operation of these aircraft.

This is perfectly acceptable, and is in no way a cause for concern

2) An engineer who holds an airside pass may have full and unfettered access to any aircraft he or she must perform work on. They may carry all sorts of sharp, pointy tools as required to carry out their duties. But a yoghurt may not be taken through a security checkpoint by the same engineer in case it is a threat to aviation security.

This is perfectly logical.

Over to you The Hitcher. I wait with bated breath for the definitive opinion of a "senior licensed aviation security officer". ( Whatever that is....)

And there it is. Everything you've written is a lie. Now off to Guantanamo with you.

Richard Head. Monarch must love you!

accumulator - charged with nitrogen has a diaphram to seperate the air from the hydraulic fluid on the other side, it is used to dampen shock value of hydraulic surge and for aircraft brake systems allow for a reserve in the loss of hyd power.

Brake bleed valve- also refered to as a shraderdoes the same as in your car, the brake system is a one way hyd system, air can become trapped at the brake reducing performance, the bleed valve allows for venting the air/hyd fluid mix until solid hyd fluid is evident. this valve is secure and normally lockwired closed

add - an EU thing, not sure on the exact acronym but basically NEF not essential for flight. The MEL minimum equipment list is there to list the potential safety of flight items usually electronic that an aircraft can operate without for a prescribed period of time, it does not cover non safety of flight items, thus the add program.
