I would go with the one making money.

Requires new cables. Moisture gets in them and they freeze at altitude. Even has a statement in the maintenance manual not to add any type of lubrication.

Hi Crey and welcome aboard, A Goofy Newfie is from Newfoundland, the most easterly province in Canada. They have been known to have and show a good time. As for our licensing system it basically consists of 4 categories: M1 - Mechanic on aircraft less than 12500lbs. M2 - Mechanic on aircraft above 1...

Anyone remember when a 727 showed up in YHZ from MIA to fly Air Nova pax during the Air Nova pilot strike. Maybe some of these same pilots are now flying for Amerijet. Be careful who you call scab's.....

I have never been accused of being smart but I just can't get my head around how anyone thinks this thing would have stalled due to iced up pitot probes. Things may have changed but the last Airbus I had dealings with had a Flight Engineer to hit the pilots if they tried something wrong. Is a iced o...

Just my opinion but I doubt it had anything to do with airspeed. The crew was reporting electrical problems and there was known weather in the area. If a severe lightning strike occurred it is possible the generators tripped offline which meant they were on the ADG. The ADG is only going to power em...

APPENDIX B CARs STD 566.03(8)(b) permits holders of either an M1 or M2 rated AME licence to sign a maintenance release for certain aircraft types without holding a rating appropriate to the aeronautical product being maintained. This will enable either M1 or M2 rated AME licence holders to sign main...

Further to above we all as Maintenance and pilots bend the rules whether your willing to admit it or not. Every time you remove a panel do you check the IPC to ensure the guy ahead of you installed the right dash number screw? From a pilot perspective, if the Captain of a 767 was turning onto the bu...

Torquey401, it has to be determined if is an "Airworthy" item or not. If you think it is then it sits. Some guys are not willing to put their name on the line and you can't blame them because if it comes back to haunt you don't expect the company to stand by you. If you did DMI the Maintenance funct...

All the aircraft I have worked on the Maintenance computer can be Mel'd under ATA 45. Usually they send engine trend monitoring so the only restriction is to manually do engine trends.

Sure, if I was the mechanic they would be deffered as a non airworthy DMI. Provided the control locks are the type like on a Beech, I may put a restriction on the DMI to the effect "Aircraft not to be left unattended on the ground in windy conditions unless hangared". If it was a mechanical lock fro...

Exactly, all I was saying is the word "component" I don't think is correct. I would use the word "system". If a crew said the ADF control head digits were unreadable at night your not going to find ADF control head in the MEL but you may find ADF system. Alot of the time when you MEL stuff you may n...

Were talking 2 different things, my question was to George in respect to a 727. If the flow control valve on a 727 didn't work all it would do is make the air conditioning pack inoperative. In respect to the Dash 8 and Dash 7 you are referring to engine air.

OK, so a flow control valve craps out. A flow control valve is a component and is not listed in the MEL. Can I MEL the Pack?

George I have to disagree somewhat when you say if the inoperative component is not in the MEL it is a no go. Lets say Captain Jelly fish calls from one of those shiny new 767's and says the lav smoke detector won't test and it's not in the MEL so I'm not taking it, I'm pretty sure Maintenance Contr...

Here's my take on it: Most company's have a way of tracking non airworthy defects usually called DMI's. So lets say a Circuit Breaker panel identifier on a 727 freighter has fallen off and gone missing. First check the MEL even though I doubt it would be there since we may want to know what the CB's...

Don't know the closest DME (Designated maintenance examiner) to Montreal.
I did mine at Long Island, New York.
