I got my eye on a mini scope that is used for automotive purposes these days mostly,,,but can be used for for what ever you want. No so many buttons!!!

A Pico scope? I have recently stumbled across those while looking at YouTube videos. Perhaps I should have gotten one of those instead.
Speaking of the many buttons. They open up menu trees. Too many selections.
I guess it is like anything, once understood it will be easier to use.Last edited by boscoe99; 03-18-2022, 09:19 AM.

I am looking more for a car scanner with a build in scope, they are coming down in price all the time. I have a Autel scanner now that can do a fair bit of stuff but would like a better one to fool with.

Pan, what is your source of basic aircraft maintenance training materials? Do y'all use any FAA stuff?

When I was in school we used a bunch of different books, Airframe, flight controls, structures, power plant, AC43-13...and rotary wing. AC43-13 being the only FAA book.
Once you leave school and if you work on anything other then general aviation aircraft, which I do, then it's all manufacture type training. So each different aircraft has it's own training programs.
We have to know FAA regs to work on American registration Aircraft. We have a contract right now with an American operator Pacific Southwest Airlines doing heavy maintenance on their Bombardier CRJ-900's. Transport Canada and the FAA have nearly identical regs. Just finished a contract for a Latvian airline doing heavy maintenance on their fleet of Bombardier Dash-8 400's...so EASA regs as well. European regs are a fair bit different then ours.

FAA has issued an airframe book, powerplant book and general handbook. Are you familiar with those?

Oh I forgot...avionics and electrical books as well. Generally one tends to focus on one or two disciplines. I myself have all licenses except avionics, rotary wing and general aviation( aircraft 10,000 lbs and less)

Yes I was looking at the Pico scope. I watch a YouTube channel called South Main Auto and this guy does all kinds of diagnosis on cars and uses pico scope. He usually figures out what other shops have shot the parts canon at. Also does general mechanical stuff as well..check it out, great teacher.

As long as he stays up in NY we be happy. OK to be a Yankee. Don't go being a damn Yankee.
Know the difference?
