Thanks for making this video. I have been an A&P IA for 30+ years. I hope that your videos can inspire younger people to get involved in aviation maintenance.
Excellent Video Bryce!!!!! I glad you called this out. Anyone who knows anything about aviation maintenance knows that the last thing a maintainer wants is to be on camera. This is because of the BS that goes on when yr on camera. A maintainer that doesn’t understand this hasn’t been burned or seen other people get burned.
I had one person threatening to call the FAA early in my channel because he claimed I wasn't qualified to be changing a wind shield..... though to myself sir how would you know that.
Just found your channel and subscribed right away. (Of course, holding a current A&P, IA myself gives me no bias at all, haha.) Thank you for your willingness to create content despite your work schedule. I'll probably binge your videos as time allows! Something that comes to mind for your video topic l is NDA limits and/or employers and customers being unwilling to have their fleet and facilities shown on the internet. This probably affects those of us working in part 121 more than others, but it's worth mentioning. I once asked my employer about submitting a customer aircraft photo with a beautiful sunset and a blimp in the background to post on the company social media. The process of requesting customer approval from the right channel was so convoluted that I dropped the request. I can understand why aircraft owners and operators would be so tight, but it surely doesn't help educate our youth about an interesting and fulfilling career. At the end of the day, we desperately need competent mechanics, and unless we can get the word out, aviation will suffer. Stay curious. Stay humble.
I'm sure most are, I did have one guy on a video about tips to get hired at your first aviation job tell me that Tattos are disgusting and make you look like trash. Told him thanks for your comment it will boost channel engagement lol
Thanks for all the great content man! I wanna say I finally took my oral and practicals and got my A&P!! Thanks for the videos and the motivation to keep on it.
The title is literally a question I've been having for 2 weeks. I don't even really see them on tik tok either. I need to see more content of the maintainers. I feel like it would help push the aviation field much further.
@@mayelarodriguez7809 and i feel like it’s so niche. I only heard about an aircraft mechanic because I discovered it through a auto mechanic tik tok video😂
Started working at an MRO 2 months ago. I would love to film some of the stuff I am learning but company rules I am not allowed to film or take pictures.
Definitely have been debating starting my own channel and even a pod cast. Been in the career for 4 years. I started on cargo birds but now work in the medical side. I have met a lot of different A&Ps that have worked in a bunch of different areas in the maintenance world. I think it would be a cool concept to have A&Ps that have different maintenance experience in the industry (Cargo, GA, Private, Commercial, Ect.) come on and talk about their experiences. I think it would be a fantastic way to get new people into this career.
Good idea. As an A&P who worked in satellite manufacturing and launch and aircraft insurance claims, i know there are pretty unique jobs out there. Do it!
Dude, no kidding. Of all the forums and groups I am on, motorcycles, engine building, machining, welding, the aviation mechanics are the worst. I have never met so many people that walked uphill to school, in the snow, while being whipped with barbed wire and want everyone to know about.
Good stuff mate. The main reason why I don’t record my work is because I’m working on military aircraft. Even as a civilian guy I’d get booted off base in a flash if I uploaded anything. But the issues you highlighted are definitely very real, even if I could film. The closest I can get to it is making videos about my own aircraft. Fun times huh
Agree with you 1000%- sadly. Also- the FAA would rather go after you than Boeing... because it's easier, and cost less. Looking at some of the other DIY vids, there's massive amounts of people (or bots) commenting that "They do this for a living" and half say it's right, half say it's wrong with their own "20 year professional opinion" and it's wrong too. Bottom line- the liability is too much to handle for the A&P that makes too little for their worth, and everyone's just trynna work and go home after 8 hours.
There definitely should be more, the only one that I know of other than you is Stig Aviation (I was lucky to meat him at MRO Americas too) and I feel like more A&Ps should def showcase what they do, but I feel like their company policies might be a factor to consider also, idk 🤷♂️
Hi i pass my general writing oral and practical and I also pass my writing for the airframe and I pass the oral expect the practical so my question is my general writing expired. Do I have to retake only the writing or oral and practical too ?
@@brycebuildsit 60 hours? What a slacker. 😛 In my much younger days back when pterodactyls were still flying around in great numbers, I rarely put in less than 80 hours and usually worked 6-7 days. Holiday's??? What the heck are those. Now, all joking aside, I REALLY HOPE I never see anyone on Bryce's channel start talking about Jason on Requild Rescue or Jimmy on Jimmy's World as REAL aircraft mechanics. I'm sure you all have much better sense than that. I understand the reasons why very few are willing to put themselves on YT that don't revolve around the amount of time it takes. With the social disease society we have today, there are always "Karen's" out there that will do everything they can to cause someone trouble even if they know nothing about what they speak of. And 99+% of them don't have a clue. So, A&P's make the decision to just not take the chance. I get it and can't really disagree with it. I personally just have no desire to do it. I have too much work to do every day and never enough time to get it all done.
Hey, I am in the process in studying for my tests. Do you recommend Ground School being useful for studying? I know it ahs been a while since you posted studying videos, but Im curious if I could just pass with using that and prepware!
Well I'm bias I'm in San Antonio and not at Hallmark (I never explicitly name the school I teach at for policy reasons) both us and Hallmark are good schools, TSTC is also good, Tarrant County Community College in Dallas is good, and Del Mar in Corpus is decent. The only place I would steer you away from in U.S. Aviation Academy in New Branfuels
I have been a aircraft mechanic for about 35 years and I would never record myself working on a airplane. Just to many possible problems and drama. I thought about a few times and said No to myself every time. Just save yourselves tremendous grief from every angle and don't do it. If it was possible for me to make a good sum of money recording myself working on a airplane I may have done it, but unfortunately you really can't make much money doing aviation maintenence video's. But thats me. Take care. Hawk out!!
Is there a rule within companies like for major airliners that prevents mx personnel from recording content? Like Stigshift for example, I'm assuming he has company permission to record and post content based on a day in his life as an AMT. Cause I'd love to do the same thing once I graduate :D
I guess it depends on where you go. Aircraft Facts With Max records at work. My boss is OK with it as long as I don't say exactly where I work or give any information about my job that isn't already public.
I couldn’t tell if you were joking when you said I’s crossed and T’s dotted or if that’s how the saying actually goes…..Great video tho! I love watching your channel sir!
1. Lack of obtainability, and what’s “affordable” is a beat 150f, when you can build several decent cars and make a ton of videos off of those builds. 2. The ability, or lack there of, to modify outside of paint, interior, and avionics. 3. Target group, more so age target group. Outside of NEO air craft, or the latest and greatest, not many are trying to watch someone do a 100hr or annual on a junky old beech, much less take the time to film, edit and upload.
Wish I could get back into it and finish my AP but that would mean quitting my full time job to purse something that pays less but would be more of a dream job...
It's a delima many face one of my buddies is in the same situation with becoming a commercial pilot he already makes 200k at his job (he's in his 50's) so to change carrer now he'd take a massive paycut and is going to retire in 10 to 15 anyway..
@@brycebuildsit right? I find there must be a good balance where I can volunteer somewhere, get my wrench time back up and spend some weekend days doing it because I love it instead. Interesting when a job becomes a hobby and you pay for it 😂 Hey btw you used the wrong pliers LOL 😆. Thanks for the videos man!
I'm an airline guy and for me it comes down to liability. Not in the sense I'm doing anything wrong but the fact that there is crazy people on the Internet and petty people. You will have people who don't know how to do your job turn around and tell you how to do it because they think reading a book makes them qualified.
I thought about recording 135 king air maintenance to maybe make videos but came to the conclusion of who really gives a shit. Cool tools/ideas could be interesting to watch though
Complete opposite. They changed the testing last august and made it so much easier. Took my knowledges in january and that was the hardest part. Took my o and p’s 3 weeks ago with my eyes closed didn’t even need to study just couldn’t get in with a dme until April.
If they paid more I’m sure loads of people would come in and have no issue passing the tests. Problem is right now you can make twice as much working as a software engineer and you don’t need any certification.
Because 50% of mechanics are violating OSHA rules and 40% are pencil whipping. The other 10% don’t know what a camera is. I would know, I’ve been working here 10 years
Your question in the title.... People reporting youtubers for any "perceived" violation to the FAA. A number of pilot youtubers have been reported. Some for good reason. Some for NO good reason. Honestly something I'd stay away from. Sure. It might make great entertainment and education, but there is a significant risk in posting videos on aircraft maintenance.
@@brycebuildsit riiight….. but I often fail to transfer my thoughts to words. It’s those who cause us needless drama that I speak of. And even when you have all your ducks in a row, the rule-makers may still not side with you. Prime example is Trent Palmer’s legal battle with the FAA now…. After following a published guideline by the FAA. Their own recommendations he follows and they rule against him. Not good for any of us.
Never seen you before, but I think its because the majority of A&Ps are working for Airlines-- and thus it goes against social media policy. Me included.
I see a billion times more pilots videos than a aircraft maintainer. I wanna do this in the future as a future career and I like to see people post more about it.😂😂
Thats because the general public sees the pilots as the shining stars on any aircraft, and the mechanics are just grease monkeys to them. They don't ever think about how that aircraft is kept in the air safely to get them where they are going. And when their flight is delayed by a mechanical issue, they truely believe it's because the grease monkeys didn't do their job correctly. Exactly why I did not go to work for American when I had the offer in hand 40 years ago, and stayed in general/corporate aviation.
@@brycebuildsit and that’s what you’re doing in this video. Which hits the nail on the head btw. It’s the same guys that roll up in the hangar but their opinions are weighed against getting a wrench thrown at em lol
I think your completely wrong as to why there aren't many A&P/IAs showing maintenance on TH-cam. It's not because people will critique you, it's not because people will tell you your wrong in what/how your doing things. It's 100% because aviation maintenance is very very very important to make sure you're doing things right and not being distracted. Thinking about what your saying to the camera while working is a major distraction. You need to concentrate on what your working on and not your dialog to the camera. You will forget something or you will miss something. Distraction is a big issue with video taping yourself. I've been working on aircraft with my license since 1998. I'm 45 years old now and do it everyday. You need to concentrate on the task at hand. Not the camera. However taking photos and posting those online is not a distraction as you can take the photos then when your done with the job you can sit down and post them. I do use IG sometimes to show maintenance. But filming myself while working is just something I don't think aviation mechanics should do. @Fishermotorcompany
Thanks to everyone making comments about company policies and NDA's. Honesty, that just didn't cross my mind.
