How To Make A Flexible Fluid Hose For An Aircraft | Oral And Practical Project Demonstration

[@robertcarter7245]

Great video, How To vids are always a help and making hoses (303) saves a bunch of money, I replaced all the Fuel, Oil and Hydraulic lines on my Mooney, (there were 19 or so in all). Buying them would have run me over 2k and 3-4 weeks time. The A&P / IA I was working under told me make my own, so I ended up spending just over $750, which included a hand full of “B” nuts that needed replaced, several fittings, Fire Sleeve for those inside the cowl (which it didn’t have before) and the -3 thru -12 mandrels. Full day making the hoses, half a day getting them pressure tested at the local 147 school. I had ordered a few feet more of each size hose just incase and was able to help a few others out with a few brake lines and fuel lines.

Yeah, it's way cheaper to make them yourself than buy them. I know some places sell kits for any given aircraft, and I'm sure there is decent money doing that.

Excellent video sir!!! You should definitely become an A&P examiner.

[@brycebuildsit]

Thank you.

very cool

[@ronpearson1912]

I did forget that and I had an awful time lol, was called my old retired mechanic who is in Virgina now like wtf and he just calmly told me. These tasks are where I wish I were Clark Kent from Smallville

Thanks Bud! Very Helpful!

Yet another great video Bryce .. keep them coming I built hoses last year and aeroquip 303 .. the technique of backing off the larger barrel abit to get started is a great idea .wish I had thought of that . Keep them coming sir

Love your vids bro

[@brycebuildsit]

Thanks Man, these comments are what keep me making them.

Question, do you know of any accelerated A&P schools? I'm in the army and I do qualify to test out for my A&P, but I don't feel as though I am qualified enough without getting some hands-on learning that an A&P school would offer.

[@brycebuildsit]

Depends on what state you are in, In Texas there is Hallmark, St. Phillips, Delmar, U.S. Aviation Academy, Tarrant County, And others. I teach at a 147 in San Antonio that is not Hallmark. I never name the school as I am not an authorized rep and so on. There are also several nation wide schools and lots of community colleges in every state like Spartan or Embry Riddle

[@joedaviss9448]

Hey Nick do you have your tickets to take the test? If not get them. Then get your butt to bakers school of aeronautics. In 2 weeks you will knock out all your written test and your oral and practical. They are located in Lebanon Tennessee.

[@brycebuildsit]

I read it the first time as he wasn't Quilfied from the army. But yes if you are already signed off on your 8610-2 then go to Bakers. I went for my IA and they made it super easy

[@milesj6064]

@@joedaviss9448 Bakers is an awesome place, I am a Canadian AME and I went there to get my conversion to an A&P. They were great. I totally enjoyed my time and met some nice mechanics also.

[@nickgustafson7795]

@@brycebuildsit So more so my question is, is there any A&P school you know of that is more accelerated to around 6 months long roughly. I have 7 years of maintenance experience but I don't do much airframe, electrical, powertrain stuff as that is how the army separates it. I overlap a little into those with my job but I feel like if I got my A&P I wouldn't have the correct amount of knowledge and training to actually us an A&P license which is why I want to still attend a school but if possible not do two years' worth of a course as I know I can confidently skip some of it based off the actual experience I do have.

I see you haven't finished that cup of coffee yet that may be the problem 😂

[@brycebuildsit]

Thankfully, it was still hot after filming

[@yeagermcbipper9008]

You are WRONG to reference the 43-13. If you read the first page of the 43-13 it states " only when there are no manufacturer repair or maintenance instructions". Since the manufacturer of the mandrel, hose, and fittings will all have instructions on installation, it makes the 43-13 INVALID for any data. If you're an IA or AnP you really should know this. The 43-13 is a reference of LAST RESORT when there is no other data available. It is NOT a 'go to' reference of first choice.

[@brycebuildsit]

Thank you for your input. I have made that exact statement in countless videos. When my students test at the DME for the oral and practical, he has them use the procedure in the 43.13. I know this because I know the DME. So being as I am making these types of videos for A&P students getting ready to test (per my statement in the beginning of the video) i am using the reference the DME will have them use. Also, if you read the procedure for the "hose manufacturer" or "tool manufacturers," you'll find that it mirrors the 43.13.
