Nice video. Safety wiring is an art that we are all always improving on.

At 5:28 when you make your pigtail couldn’t some one cut themselves still since it’s not tucked. Maybe the angle of the video makes it seem like that but I feel like we would get yelled at for that. Great video though I appreciate you posting this valuable info.😎

Accidentally poking your hand with the wire is always fun. 😆

Please explain more the indication of the direction of twist.

Nice Instructions, Thanks.

On the second pattern wouldn’t it be better to run the wire coming out of the second bolt, under the twist?? 180 under the twist.

Hey there, not trying to be a hater, but feel the need to point out what's right. Based on what I was taught in A&P school and per the FAR AC;3.13-1B, the nicks in the wire from the pliers are a no go. Probably more concerning is the "around the world twists" Those are over working the wire making to brittle. It doesn't mention that term anywhere in the FAA rules, but it speaks to the number of twists (6-8 as you stated) and specifically "Safety wire must never be overstressed. Safety wire will break under vibrations if twisted too tightly". Making those around the world twists are doing just that and it will break with a lot of vibration. Same with he pigtail, still need to be 6-8 twists. Its super difficult to get it neat and accurate, but what was displayed would hav been cut by an IA, or instructor.

I am no expert but did wonder that myself when watching this.. I also thought would it not be an issue the many times the wires were worked back and forth at one spot when starting the twists by hand. maybe this is just because it's a demo video, it does look tidy tbf

To be honest, as an inspector, you should be checking fastener tensions too. That's just my opinion. But on a side note your video is very informative. I find my twists coming to the hole a little short or a little too long

Is there going to be a part 2, and will you continue to make videos?

@theaviationmaintenancechan1109 2 жыл бұрын

I am planning on making a part 2 as well as other videos, but it takes me a lot of time to shoot and edit them. I stay pretty busy so I can't commit to when that will be or how often I will add new ones.

Does the twists per inch on the pigtail matter?

@theaviationmaintenancechan1109 2 жыл бұрын

The pigtail doesn't matter quite as much, but you still want it to be tight enough that it will hold the rest of the wire tight. You also don't want it to be so tight that it overstresses the wire causing it to break, either right away or later under vibration. Generally a little tighter than the rest of the wire is ok, and actually can help it stay twisted when you bend it under, but don't over do it.

There are some scenes covered by your arm where I wanted to see how you sent the wire

@Kiddsworld66 Жыл бұрын

Why are none of your twist 6-8 threads per inch? Just doing it for quickness?

My problem is the direction to send the wire on th second or third bolt, thanx for the video 🇺🇲✈

@nick138 3 жыл бұрын

Opposite, You go from the first to the second clockwise, you would go counter clockwise from the second to the third, then the pig tail would be clockwise and tucked.

Great video. Too bad there hasn't been anything posted in two years and the channel is basically dormant.

If you are going to do instructional videos how about keeping your forearm from hiding all your work!

Did safety wire change. 10-12 turns per inch on runs. 6-8 on pig tails

@phtevenmolz5030 Жыл бұрын

Page 7-19 of the AC 43.13-1B says 6-8 twists per inch. And that has been the norm for *at least* 25 years, since the last change was in 1998.

You may be a safety wire ninja but you're not a camera ninja - so much of this video is out of sight behind your hand or your arm(s). I'm sure those with hundreds of these under their belt already will disagree but I've not done one before so am disappointed in this, sorry 😥
