As a retired USAF Technical Instructor and Former Training Center Superintendent I can say you would do very well in the Air Force. We need all of that "Attention to Detail" when working on F-16s to F-22s. Aim High!
Double or Quadruple Kudos for you young lady and also for your videographer. I admire airplane mechanics because of their complexity in knowledge and also because the lives of the people who board them, depends from it. But you, being a young female and with that passion and knowledge for airbirds to do hands on services that are allowed by the FAA, is commendable. I am not a pilot nor a mechanic though, but maybe someday i'll be in a plane serviced or flown by you and i'll feel pretty secured. Thumbs Up!! make more videos...!!
Worked and maintained this 150 back in 95 in Wenatchee , had it painted also after etch and alodine, glad to see it still lookin good and in good hands
Great video. A few suggestions: Eye Protection, spark plug removal ratchet tool (same brand), shorter extension when tightening with a torque wrench, more the 1 1/2 in extension affects the reading of the torque (Check with the Tool Salesperson) and when removing fasteners, plug, etc. You are suppose to push on the tool away from your body.
No, a socket extension doesn’t change the torque value when using a hand wrench. It doesn’t affect if you are using an impact wrench, but using quasi-static force application will not cause errors.
Hello lady , you are one good , motivated and careful mecanic on that plane . Fantastic , i'm in awe . I wish you succes and good luck on your path of aviation . The same remark goes for the girl who was filming , good job at that . One remark , when you turn away from the camera your voice-level drops away , and i cannot understand you anymore . But i really liked the two video's on this 150 aeroplane maintenance job . Are there more ? Why don't you make video's of all the maintenance jobs allowed by regulations to be done on the private aeroplane by the owner . I would like that to be done by you , in this here same clear-minded and well commented manner . A good mecanic works more with the brain than with the hands , and that is what you do . Very good job lady , congrats , Erwin , Belgium .
Nice to see a girl not scared to get dirt under the fingernails, great video and explanation Maria, you have a new subscriber and I look forward to seeing more 👍
Nice work and good methodology. It is important to torque fasteners on one smooth motion, at least for the lasat 40% or so of the torque. A couple of times it appeared that you ran out of travel just short of reaching the required torque and then ratcheted the wrench to finish with a very small swing. This can give an incorrect torque, either low or high. Static friction is often 20% higher than dynamic. So, if you stop within 20% of the final value, the fastener may not move at all when the wrench is repositioned due to the higher static friction. Similarly, if it does move, but is close to the final value, the sudden movement when static friction is overcome, can cause the value to overshoot as the wrench reacts. Better to tighten to 50-60% of final torque and then reposition the wrench to ensure that last bit of torque can be applied on one smooth, continuous motion.
For what it’s worth remove/loosen the oil filler cap when you release the quick drain the oil will drain faster plus it’s a second reminder with the cap off/loosen
good video.... In this case, probably OK, but in general, bad practice to ratchet with a torque wrench, especially at higher torques. Get it close with a ratchet....dial it in with the torque wrench.
I'm curious as to why you wouldn't set the propeller north to south when you began the service so you didn't have to keep on walking around it. I also noted that you did a lot of jumping about as far as the steps in the procedure such as sealing the oil drain plug before torquing the spark plugs, etc. You made many movements that could lead to a mistake. It also took you extra time to do the service because of the excessive movements around the plane. I am an Automotive Tech with 50 years experience. Being constructive, not trolling :)
Nice video. You did a nice job until you started tightening the leads. ALWAYS COMPLETE ONE OPERATION BEFORE STARTING ANOTHER!!! When you tighten leads tighten all of them before you start another operation. I'd be fired for tightening one lead and then adding oil and then going back to tightening another lead at the shop I work at.
Really interesting that the oil filter is safety-wired on but not the spark plugs or HT leads. Or the oil filler cap. Maybe oil filters are untrustworthy. I know mine comes off once a week.
Dielectric grease is of course non-conductive, and you don't want it between your conductive surfaces. In an *automotive* application, you coat the inside of the spark plug wire's BOOT and take care to not apply it to the conductive end of the spark plug (the non-spark end ... the end that looks like a nipple of sorts). This might differ in an *aero* application, but I'd be surprised. Technically it is OK to use dielectric grease on conductive surfaces if the grease is wiped/pushed away as the conductors make contact (many electricians swear by this when installing fuses), but this requires very tight connections. This is why you will see a lot of debate re: whether or not to use dielectric grease on conductive surfaces: those who say it's OK often are not aware that an extremely tight connection might sufficiently push the grease away, or take it for common knowledge and do not explicitly mention this fact. Edit: here is a video I found on TH-cam that explains this a bit better. th-cam.com/video/Kb1VldFpRG8/w-d-xo.html
@@christophermichaelson9050 Yes I agree nothing solid and where is it in class where they would tech it. Where connection is most important example ignition systems I would go out of the way of direct soldering and weather proofing the solder connection. spark plugs knowing the connection is a pressure grip type (pressure dimpled) I use it at contact point and all thru the boot and even the insulated wire to the boot to prevent water to make a path for high voltage to travel to. High pressure contact yes under very high humidity and water conditions where h2o and o2 is sealed from. Me not knowing I was just wondering if it would pass inspection for flying using the dielectric grease? I forgot to add that in my question. Thank you for the reply and on the same page in the mater. one of my favorite is the colt dragoon, colt peacemaker
There is no correction for a straight line extension www.snaponindustrialbrands.com/dsn/wwwsnaponindustrialbrandscom/Content/PDF/CDI%20TechAngle%20Manual.pdf
Fuel should already be cut off, Master Switch doesn't matter, and mags don't matter because none of the plug wires are connected - although off is better.
You said it takes six but I only saw five containers. Also, doesn't the 150 have a sump capacity of 6 quarts but the total oil capacity is 7 quarts including the oil filter?
Vinny: Maybe you didn't twist it hard enough. Mona Lisa: I twisted it just right. Vinny: How can you be so sure? Mona Lisa: If you will look in the manual, you will see that this particular model faucet requires a range of 10-16 foot pounds of torque. I routinely twist the maximum allowable torquage. Vinny: How can you be sure you used 16 foot pounds of torque? Mona Lisa: Because I used a Craftsman model 1019 Laboratory edition, signature series torque wrench. The kind used by Cal Tech High Energy physicists, and NASA engineers. Vinny: In that case, how can you be sure THAT'S accurate? Mona Lisa: Because a split second before the torque wrench was applied to the faucet handle, it had been calibrated by top members of the state and federal Departments of Weights and Measures, to be dead-on balls accurate. Here's the certificate of validation! Vinny: "Dead-on balls accurate"? Mona Lisa: It's an industry term. Vinny: I guess the ****in' thing is broken!

I really love the attention to detail, not just on the actual work, but hints to make the work safer for the mechanic and the AC.
You've done a great job, not only doing the work, but describing in excellent detail what you were doing through each step. Thanks.
Really enjoyed watching. great to see the young folks involved in aviation. Keep up the good work.
Great Job, Maria , That's what Aviation inspire . Knowledge, discipline and passion. and It is true, Aviation isn't a job is a passion !
I learned a lot you explain much better than anyone I met in person thank you for this amazing videos

A very high energy, hard working and knowledgeable person. She will be very successful in her career. Excellent training video!
If I ever have a daughter I want her to be just like you. Keep up the good work.

Uff... Maria !Eres muy inteligente¡ Thanx for the uploading & sharing. Saludos. 🏆🎸🔊🎧
Exellent video. Very professional presentation.
I liked all the thorough explanations. Good video!
Great video I have always wanted to learn to fly I have definitely been thinking about it a lot keep the videos coming 👍
The mechanic is very safety conscious, excellent approach to change spark plugs and replace oil ..
For what it’s worth remove/loosen the oil filler cap when you release the quick drain the oil will drain faster plus it’s a second reminder with the cap off/loosen
she did
good job maria you must be proud of your self . I liked the video you look pretty by the way
Very......very well. Congratulations from Portugal.I like see a girl working on a aeroplane
Well Done! So great to see females in aviation! Thanks for sharing
That's awesome.... That's what I was looking for. Thanks María U R GREAT
yes great stuff,,,really will help when i get hands on my 152,,,,nice
Hey this is the hotel we want our towels back lol jokes good video and will definately help and save some hard earned cash thankyou 🛩
Excellent presentation and very informative. Thank you!
beautiful demonstration
Im going to get camguard for the HellCat. Great video
Very nice job, cerefull execution, clean and ordened
I felt excited as though I were there preparing for flight with you! It felt like a holiday day...😽😸
Great job! Loved the video. I feel bad for the person filming because it sounds like she had a cold.
Good job to both, terrific video!

Hi Lillian. Good luck!
She's wonderful.
Good video, useful. Thanks!
Great videos !! Hopefully you will recycle all the old oil bottles and spark plugs, etc. :)
first class presentation, thx

Good job, very interesting and to be honest nice body especially the closeup shots
Great video.
Seems like a good workout also to work on your airplane.
Good girls....👽👍....stay safe....
Could I use dielectric compound on the spark wire ends where it goes into the spark plug? Thank you and enjoyed your video!

Amazing job 👏
Great work but when you use a extension on a torque wrench its a formula to find the right torque cause the extension make it out of calibration
There is no correction for a straight line extension www.snaponindustrialbrands.com/dsn/wwwsnaponindustrialbrandscom/Content/PDF/CDI%20TechAngle%20Manual.pdf
Very Good Job.
Great video
Nice video, I like it.Take care and God bless :)
Is the torque wrench calibrated in the last year. I have seen some torque wrenches not give correct values.
great job , But i do one job at a time that way i never miss anything !
Great job - thanks! Does it matter if you put the ignition lead back to the same plug position?
Ta muy bonito el Cambio de aceite
Un saludo
Fuel should already be cut off, Master Switch doesn't matter, and mags don't matter because none of the plug wires are connected - although off is better.

O God mai excelent is job guirls.
What is that plane in the background?
ok now I know how to do this. Now I just need about $80,000.
A good 150 can be had for under 20k. Wish I had 20k...
Thank you
show, parabéns!
No lock on the auto drain?
Sorry, I am an engineer not an A&P, and have not even seen it. Your great presentation provoked thought.
Be aware ... torquing with an extension changes the applied torque value...
No oil level check ??
A straight extension used between the socket and the torque wrench does not affect the torque setting
A universal used on a straight extension may not exceed 15 degrees
Any tool that changes the distance between the centerline of the fastener and the torque wrench requires an adjustment to the torque wrench setting
Ref: amt general 7.51 and snapon torque wrench manual
@@aviationgroundschool Good info.
The operator's nose is filled with snot!!! Next time, unblock your nose before taking a video and try not to sniff while filming!!!
Using the same funnel that you drained with without cleaning is risky
