Referenced this video as an AMT working at a major airline 😂 someone broke a piece of the turnbuckle clip inside the barrel during removal so I couldn’t use the clip method. Last time I safetied a turnbuckle with lock wire was 7 years ago at A&P school.
A very Safe and Efficient method.....But the ends of the locking wire is just sitting there waiting to stick to someone's clothing or tools thus unwinding the loops on the turn buckle or even excessive vibration can start to unwind the loops.
The approved methods all involve wrapping the ends like that. Only other option is turnbuckles that allow a safety clip. They don’t come unwrapped. They are not located were you are snagging them. This has been an approved method damn near forever. Only thing wrong is how annoying it is to do turnbuckles inside an airllane
+jreynolds21 Because a common inspection method for finding broken strands on a cable is to run a rag along it to snap on the broken strand. If there is no pigtail, the rag can undo the whole wrap. And on military aircraft, this is unacceptable.
Great job! But reality says try that with only one hand through a 3 inch access panel in the blind. Now thats the trick.
HAHAHAHAHA best cap
I'm preparing for my O&P and this video shows really well how it's done nicely, thanks!!

I am glad this is useful in real life… I am still at AMT school!
@@727AC you picked a great path! Keep at it! All major airlines are still hiring like crazy so Now is the time!

Beautiful installation
Nice information
Thanks, very nice demo, but waite Why not use approved Military
Standard MS21256-3 Stainless Steel Clip, Locking Turnbuckle in all sizes? 0.50cents
...because this is what can be required on orals and practicals :)
Am I wrong about about this? do you not have Lock Nuts on the turn buckles as well as Lock Wire?

yes you can turn it but it's there so it doesn't come undone. that's why there is a cable tensioner.
Keep the videos coming!

Yes it can be done. But I’ve hand more fun at the Dentist getting a tooth pulled.

Turnbuckle. Not turn-barrel.

Interesting that they don't make pigtails on these and instead just leave loose ends, never pass mil spec!
And the need for pigtails on this application is why?

tuck the loose ends away
