Is the picture there and the first blue background of the frame? It does not show up for me.

My storage site is screwed up, I bet that is the problem.

No jacket required.
Sounds nice for you. It is a chilly 37 here, so any precip will be wet, darn it. I'm still waiting on my big snow!
To: Soaring Feather
All of it is showing for me.

Oh good, thanks much Meg. Strange, must be the storage site as I mentioned.

What is your specialty, AD, AM, AE, AT or any other derivative of Group IX Aviation?

I used to be an AQ, but they made me change to AT in the ‘90s. I still party like an ordie. LOL
To: tongue-tied
That is better than being an AB.

Roger that! Fuels would be worse.
To: tongue-tied
If I remember way back when Noah was a deck hand, they had ATR and ATN ratings. Is it still that way? I also remember it changing at E8 or E9.

No more ATR/ATN, but now they have ATO and ATI for O and I level. It sure does make an advancement exam more realistic when you turn wrenches and screwdivers but don't have to answer questions like "What will the voltage drop at C1 be if R33 fails?"
Never knew of ATR/ATN. I heard of ADR for recip and ADT for turbojet, but can't remember different tweets.
To: tongue-tied
ATR = Radar Technician and ATN was for communication equipment. ADR as you said was for recips and ADJ was for jets. As for the question, are we discussing a regenerative feedback circuit? Since the company I work for provides equipment to the US and other Navies, the highest maintenance level for the US Navy is O level both for aircraft and for shipboard equipment.

ADJ...that's right. Was before my time.
No, generally they ask about simple meter circuitry.
This past week I learned about the main fuel control, and how different parts of it provide governing and control though mechanical means. Amazing to me, to see how fuel pressure, air pressure, and RPM measurements can be used to give the same control as a feedback circuit on an electronic system.
Self-correcting power and rotor RPM design through a "carburetor". Who knew?!
To: tongue-tied
The one thing that used to drive the nose-pickers crazy was the propeller control on P3 and C130 aircraft.

Lord, how the day passes! It is like a life, so quickly
