Switched from safety wire to those locking cotter pins on landing gear bolts
Used to spend 20 minutes per wheel assembly twisting safety wire on Cessna 172s, always worried about getting the tension right. A buddy at the shop in Tulsa showed me those pre-formed cotter pins that snap into place last month. They hold just as well and cut my time down to maybe 5 minutes a wheel. Has anyone else tried them on larger jets or am I the only one swapping old habits?
