Here's a good one: Job Description: We are looking for 3 apprentice AME's. The positions will be at our facilities in someplace, Northern Awesomeville. The positions will be full time contract. Please reply with a resume and college transcript if you are holding less than two years aviation experien...

Unbelievable.....What can I say to that!

I just read that one about the torque wrenches....YEAH!! I don'y know a single AME serious about the trade with one. If one of my guys bought one or wanted me to send it for calibration I'd laugh them all the way to the Precision Torque Instruments website. If you didn't know they supply Snap-on you...

You know they stopped giving out accreditations like that in Cracker Jack boxes a long time ago. It's all in the Pink Elephant now... Sorry, :( was meant to be more "witty" or "edgy" than angry. It's my time of the month and my time of the year for forum lurking. I gotta go back to drawing someone w...

According to the logbook maintenance did the annual check on the compass but apparently didn't change the placard Make up a new compass correction card yourself, copying the values from the logs. Remember, you aren't swinging the compass yourself - that requires a maintenance release by someone who...

Only I can call myself Injun... If you do it, it's racist!! Thank you very much! What kind of fight would it be anyways....just a bunch of dorks with too much time on their hands. (including myself) I told him If he was kidding, it's fine. It's all opinion anyways right. I don't get upset when you e...

Pat Richard gets it....We should have a beer. As for you New Blue....you don't. I'd imagine you'll have some more gems about the imaginary ideals of this great industry. Don'y get me wrong. I LOVE the work, I fly a private aircraft and am glad to be surrounded by semi-educated individuals that share...

Hard to get a point across in text I guess. $16 = $33, and Fixed wing shops are full of licensed Engineers. Industry and company training? Apprentices cost more do they? Perhaps useless ones (as well as engineers) What planet do you work on? I started the post to see if anyone felt that ads like the...

Hello Guys, Chaps, Men, Dudes, Fellas, Bro's, Homies!! I will address a random internet forum any way I please! Culver, if you're joking, cool. If not, I would use the Icon that would emit the sound of my tongue firmly pressed between between my lips with air rapidly trying to escape between them. :...

I swear, I'm not cynical but the hiring of the apprentice is cheaper right? Unless the pay scale was reversed while I was napping. I've been in rotary for a while now. It's a fixed wing thing to pay 1 guy well and 6 paid ok to get the job done. One guy signs for it all....If it wasn't about money th...

Does anyone else see this as well

Wanted: M1 AME or apprentice....

Equals

Wanted: Warm body, regardless of qualifications and we're not paying much.

Yes, Microdynamics has an excellent product. Have a J-3 and a J-4 with them installed and performance out of the water is stellar compared to not having them. Best bang for the buck. If 700 bucks scares you why do you own a plane? Go ahead and add 25 horsepower and see how much it costs...... Good l...

Nobody wants to admit to you they have every copy of C*l*a*e through the commercial written test book looking like hell from studying from it.

Yeah, Seriously!! I am all for people putting forth the effort to persue flying for recreation and joy of flight but to encourage more kids to spend their parent's money chasing a false dream of flying 747's wearing Ray-Ban's. Flight school banners should read " Pay us 30 grand to possibly work for ...

Seriously??

Randleman, you are quite clearly in the wrong on this one. Boo hoo to you. Read my thought a few posts ago and try and answer back intelligently if possible.

I believe in my limited experience that nothing you do is truly a way of life. Long in the tooth way of accepting below standard wages/conditions/hours etc. We all do something for a living that is a means to an end. If that end happens to be something that we end up loving to do (flying, wrenching ...

The issue of business ethics needs to be adressed here. If instructors were only paid salary and not flight pay these issues probably wouldn't persist for long. Who would want to babysit this type if a keen and developing student that was a pleasure to teach was waiting on the ground. All is fair in...

I would say the Christavia or Wag Aero Cub if you want floats. Use the metal spar and not the wood spar though. Why not the wood spar? Bellanca never used a metal spar on a single aircraft until purchased by ACA in 1995 and made a fleet of amazing aircraft.(every Citabria model). Hundreds of cubs (...

Car's for the A.M.E. is an awesome study resource, helped me pass the exam.

Most rotorheads would back me up in saying that the engineer-pilot relationship does not seem to suffer near as bad in rotary wing as in fixed wing. Something to do with both parties having to work for a living........(ha ha)

Careful with that evil-oution talk! Just kidding, monkeys are cool.

This should be the Av-Canada user agreement it is so close to the truth.

It's not a cessna. There is no maintenance manual.

You wil find the torque values for the propeller in the appropriate prop maintenance "manual" vs bolt diameter. If the aircraft does not have a M.M

Hi Guys, I have a question regarding welded repairs. I have an M1/M2 license and was wondering if I could certify a welded, structural repair carried out on a PRIVATE aircraft performed by a certified aircraft welder? Does anoyone know the ins and outs of this type of work outside of an AMO? Any hel...
