    I had a simular problem with an old CL-600. I can tell you from experience, it will come off again. The lower duct (composite) will collaspe from over tightening and come off. There is an REO that BAS came out with, fabricating an aluminum ring that is fastened inside the duct. Works good, last long time.

    If you look closely at the bottom pipe (3:37) it appears the retaining ridge is compressed in a little bit. But what I see that stands out the most is the top clamp is wider then the bottom clamp. Another thing if you notice is after you put the original clamp back on is the edge distance from the clamp to the edge of the hose is shorter then the top clamp and hose. I would of loosen the top clamp and equaled out the edge distance of the hose to the clamp to be the same. The main thing is the clamps are not the same with.

      Yes it’s a highly responsible job with zero margins for error. There is an army of mechanics working behind the scenes in scorching sun and in winter to keep these planes safe for crew and passengers but they never realize the importance of these people. Unsung heroes of aviation. Take a bow.

    Hey! I’m in school now for my A&P and I already know what I wanna do with my career. I love the business jets and that’s what I wanna work on. I still have 10 months left of school and I’m doing my research now on how to get in the door. From what I’ve been finding most corporate jobs want at least 3 year experience. What is your advice for a newbie? Where should I look to apply? Because I know there’s a big need for A&P especially in the airline feild but I would loathe that and I prefer to end up being on a AOG team and eventually having my own AOG team someday.

      The best place to apply would be JSFIRM. Airlines will hire you as soon as you get your license! It’s slightly easier to get a job in the airlines.
      For business jets it’s a little trickier, however, it helps if you have a job as line service guy, a airplane cleaner or any job inside a private airport, word of mouth goes a long way in business jet jobs!

      There’s procedures for eveything, most of the time a maintenance controller will do the research for me and send me the reference, it’s my job to double check that the reference is correct

    I cannot believe that the lower pipe is composite or fiberglass. Also it has no flange ring to stop the hose clip from slipping. Also I am sure that tightening the hose clamp will compress that pipe when tightened and the pipe will come loose again. What a stupid design in a multi million $ aircraft like a challenger.

      You need an airplane mechanic school, (Typical 18months) after completing school, you need to take Oral and Practical tests to obtain your license. Starting Salary varies on States, The Tri-State Area starts Usually around $60,000/year. within 1 year you can easily make $75,000-$85,000/year

    I know most airports have a security gate or something but any psycho could do some serious sabotage sneaking in if they can just open those het hatches like that without a key ?? I always thought those hatch doors needed special keys to open why is it so easy to open

    • @GilbertoNavarro.
      @GilbertoNavarro.  Год назад

      You need a badge to be able to walk out to the ramp to get anywhere near the planes. Most airplanes are locked with a key that only certain people have access too! In this case i didn’t show me using a key to open the door haha, but you’re right! A lot of airports (private) can just walk in with ease

    i recently graduated with associate degree in Aviation tech. But struggling with my A&P tests. Can I work with only my degree without licenses? or is it like almost impossible to find a job without licenses? and if so, would it be embarrassing that I do not have my A&P and gonna be looked at like a loser?
    thanks

      You can get work without an A&P, I know MROs in particular will hire guys without a license, but the pay isn't going to be nearly as good, the work is going to be much more menial, and job prospects will be much more limited. I would do anything you could to get your license, it sucks and takes a lot of studying but it's worth it in the end
