For those of you tuning in more recently, we thought we would make a video telling the story of how we got here. Enjoy! If you'd like us to answer your questions, please send them to Joshcowles@hotmail.com. We would love to hear from you!
A day in the life of a Moody Flight Instructor

A short video following my day teaching at Moody!
Very interesting video and a really comprehensive list....I would add a tire tread gauge, and maybe a tire pressure gauge and perhaps a decent tire chuck... with regards the bags, you can tool rolls with removable that are very similar...Using one of those might enable you to carry a selection of tools without taking the case?
your eyes are your tread gauge
That's my wheel house
Well done . Thanks for sharing this update.
you ever do an update on this loadout?
Best toolbox tour imo that's the same way I setup my toolbox I only have so much room and want to keep it portable so I packed just the essentials I'm not finished yet it's difficult especially incorporating 3 difficult drive sizes luckily I don't have a weight limit just a toolbox I don't want any bigger than it already is
Hey mate, it’s been a year how is it going?
Wanna be a baller and save wieght? Koken makes absolutely gorgeous titanium socket sets... for a pretty penny. Small price for the bragging rights, and you, unlike most, have a built in excuse to buy them👍
Can you share where you got that deburring tool with the brass handle? I’d like to get one.
Some relatively light weight tools to add or replace that I can think off of the top of my head. Many may not be applicable for you, but hopefully at least one is a useful addition to your kit. {Edit: I'm also writing this list for myself, as thinking about building a minimalist/backwoods emergency toolkit is a fun exercise. Long list in comment below.} Putty knife or scraper (For working with gaskets) Small Prybar or large flat blade screwdriver (could even get one with a striking handle) Bristle brush (Steel or brass) Brake bleeder wrench and 1-2ft length of clear tubing (For bleeding brakes) Headlamp Lighter One or Two different funnels (Will take up some space but no weight) Zip ties, PTFE Tape, Electrical Tape, Double Stick Tape (VHB), Shrink Tubing & Shrink Tubing w/ Solder Wire Splices, Fuses A few different sizes roughly 1ft long of automotive tubing/hose 2-5ft of 18,16,14,12 or other applicable size wire Butane Torch/Soldering Iron & Small roll of solder Battery Post Cleaning tool, Tire Pressure Gage, Feeler Gages Small Sheets of Various Grit Sandpaper Some amount of aircraft locking wire (Unless you can buy on site, included since you already have the pliers) Bluetooth OBD code reader to connect to your phone Drill bits and taps (Most relevant sizes for your line of work), Tap Handle Lady's foot lineup prybar Smaller 5" Cobra or Pliers Wrench Pliers (For tight spaces) Small tubes of: Threadlock, Oil, Grease, Graphite, Dielectric Grease, Thermal Paste, Thread sealing compound, Anti-Seize, RTV / Gasket Maker Small can of WD-40 and/or Penetrating oil of choice JB-Weld 2-3 Fresh Tubes of Superglue and Band-Aids Tire repair kit Vise Grips A pair of long reach pliers Click Style Torque Wrench 20-25ft of Paracord (For Macgyvering things) A few different size bungee cords (Hold things out of your way while working like hoses or brake calipers) A couple paper clips A couple alligator clip leads Lithium car battery jump pack And unfortunately not as light weight, but at least for automotive is definately missing (3 or 5lb sledge hammer). Though I assume looking at this layout that you intend to by a hammer and drill at your destination to save weight.
I think you have everything you need & more. I like how you used separate bags. I travel cross country, & have a similar setup. I chose separate bags so I could disperse the weight in my car for handling purposes. However my sockets are not on any rail system, neither are my wrenches. I like your setup much better.
be honest, i think its perfect aside two things. a rubber mallet or dead blow, and a machinist hammer. proly all i would add.
No vice grips?
fantastic setup. thank you for the video,. and blessings on all your trips!
Вітаю. Цікавить як з юридичної точки зору Ви користуєтесь власним інструментом на літаку. В авіакомпанії в якій я працюю я можу використовувати лише інструмент авіакомпанії який промаркований згідно списку. Можливо Ваша порада як сказати моєму керівництву що власний інструмент це зручно і швидко. Можливо якесь посилання на керівні документи з цього питання. Дякую
Pretty light on screw drivers
Yep. It's a weight thing!
ratcheting is all you need
I would probably try to add some other type of prying tool if it was my setup but I like what you have in your kit
I have since added a 16" indexing prybar...so you're right on!
Stumbled on this UA-cam channel. You guys are living out my dream! Years ago I got my CFII/MEI and then A&P with the hopes of going to JAARS or MAF. Neither of those things materialized and God had a different plan. The airlines, and now pastoring. Grateful for His faithfulness and guidance. Also, grateful for your updates and looking forward to following your journey. Praying for you guys!
Headlamp, are super and enable both hands to be free for work.
I've added it to my kit already! That will be included in the 2.0 video!
what about hammer?
That's a good question. Hammers are such a common tool, that I decided not to include it. They are easy to borrow if you need one.
Rocks are everywhere.
Way to go brother!
Sweet landing. You're good, man. You should definitely take this up 😂
You're flying to a very high level of precision. Nice work dude.
Are you landing with up to 10kts tailwind? What slope were you on? That's gutsy man. Nice work. Liked the comments about the flaps, 0 to 10. He liked that 😊
Hey JB! The airstrip is one-way, so we took off with a headwind and landed with about 7kts on the tail. The slope is about 6% in the touchdown zone. Once you crest the hill, it's mostly flat. Thanks for the comments!
Ah got you. One way strip. Makes sense now man.
I’m pretty sure based on the way you’re describing things that this doesn’t fit your business model… But my father used to work for a company and they would have people flying in from Europe all the time to service and install machines that they have purchased that were built by European companies end it is very expensive as you said to ship things like a box full of tools all overseas whether it’s on an airline or via some thing like FedEx. So what they would do is they would include a tool kit, normally in a box like this or in a metal toolbox that you could carry around like a traditional mechanics metal toolbox from back in the day in with the actual piece of equipment which was palletized in a crate. That would be shipped over on a boat which is far less expensive. That was included in the cost of the equipment that was being sold to his company, and they never had any intention of reclaiming the tools. Those tools were yours to keep. In fact a great deal of the tools I have now are really nice German tools that were acquired from them leaving stuff here. Nice tool boxes too. But it was probably cheaper for them than us shipping it back at their expense.
Don't lend a tool to a missionary pilot/mechanic unless you don't mind never getting the tool back...just my experience as an A&P that used to try to help the missionaries.
Wow, that's unfortunate! We don't all steal tools, I promise...
☹️

Very interesting video, Josh. Thanks man. Very nicely edited.
Pictures like 5 S lean tooling .
Interesting. Got it all covered. Hammer? Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada 😅
I’m currently setting up a Nanuk 935 Case, (similar to the pelican), I’ve done a hybrid style with a few foam layers in the bottom of the case; and then a mix of bags/cases on top of those; but I put them on top of a hard plastic base layer so all the bags/cases can be removed at once for quick access to the bottom foam layers… Also you should consider a lid organizer, it will give you extra pockets to fit things more compactly than the foam. Also check out more Wera branded tools, (like your tiny ratchet) I have found them to be incredibly good at tool storage and fitting multiple form functions together. They may be able to help you pair down even more. In particular on the wrenches, I am using their joker adjustables which eliminated my entire wrench set!! Thanks for sharing the video, when I get my kit done I’ll share it, hopefully it will help you and others!
What type of foam did you go with? And where did you get it?
@@baconsnake6463 I would have liked to try the ShadowFoam brand, but they are UK based and shipping was CRAZY, so I ended up using Kaizen foam which is not as stiff as I’d like, but all in all it’s working pretty good. Definitely get their thin knife and long nose marker, they are a necessity.
Love it. Thanks for watching!
Such joyful news! Full sponsorship! “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. . . And surely I AM with you, even to the ends of the earth.” Matt 28:18-20.” Stay focused on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith. We are blessed to pray for you. God bless you and keep you in His care. ❤️Shirley
Thanks for the encouragement, Shirley!
Yes FCBC is 🎉celebrating with you and praying for you 2. Much love. -Joel F.
We are praying for you at FCBC!
Thanks Joel. FCBC has been a big encouragement to us. Praise God!
FCBC is praying for you. Love you guys, and praise God for his work! ❤️ -Adam
Thanks Adam, that's a huge encouragement!
Excellent video! Thanks for bringing us along! 2 suggestions... Klein 11n1 Screwdriver as well as different colored paracord on the zipper pulls of each pouch. Colors make organizing even quicker. 🙂
Thanks for your input, especially the colors. That's a great idea.
Where are you hiding the chip and spoon?
Still missing...
You have done a great job of identifying the necessary tooling, leaving behind the excess weight of extra... Nicely done. Praying for safe travels for you
Thanks Nathan!
I'm a little suspicious of you being an Aviation Mechanic without a speed handle. 😂 Nice setup 👍
I knew I was forgetting something!
I've got the Fluke 101 and love it. Never needed any more functions than what it has. All in all a cool setup!
Awesome, I know the Amp function is good for testing prop de-ice, but you need an amp clamp for that application anyway.
Love this look into your day. God bless you!
Great Video Josh! Sure miss you guys, but glad you're out doing what God made you to do.
Thanks Jeff. We miss you guys too!
Praise the Lord!!!
Wow Josh... what an amazing testimony...😊glory to God... proud of you... Say ‘hi’ to Sarah 🥰 Blessings to you both...love Amanda x (Cameron’s Mum😊)
Wow, Amanda! What a surprise! Thanks for the comment.
