OXIGEN SYSTEM ATA 35 This week we have been working with the oxygen system, we have removed the oxygen cylinder from the 680V turbocommander.  You have to be very careful with oxygen as it is very dangerous and any contamination with grease could cause an explosion 💥 The practice with the oxygen cylinder was quite fast, so we did another more fun and real work. We checked the emergency exit ramp of a Boeing 737 for leaks with a special non-greasy leak detector soap, shake the bottle very hard to create a lot of foam, we will put the foam that has been created in the areas susceptible to leakage, such as the connections and if there are leaks, it will be detected quickly, the ramp must have air.  In this case, everything was correct, there were no leaks, so we continue introducing air into the ramp or slide.   Once the filling was complete, we were allowed to launch ourselves down the slide and it was great fun, I was the first to launch myself because my companions were afraid 😏 My p

DEICING BOOTS Deicing boots is a type of ice protection system installed on aircraft surfaces to permit a mechanical deicing in flight. Such boots are generally installed on the leading edges of wings and control surfaces (e.g. horizontal and vertical stabilizer) as these areas are most likely to accumulate ice and any contamination could severely affect the aircraft's performance. First we checked the boots of the 680V turbocommander were shattered, there were leaks everywhere. We did the test by inserting compressed air through the pipe that supplies air to the boots.  You can see in the video all the leaks in the boots!! Boots cannot be repaired Because Sergio and I worked pretty fast, Jose Maria, our practice instructor, offered to test the system on the cessna, this plane is newer, so it didn't have as many leaks and could be repaired.  My personal week.... Moving again!!! 😓 The real estate situation in Mallorca is still difficult, the prices are still higher than anyw
