A few days ago i replaced my first APU on an A320 with 2 colleagues. We need ca. 5h for this job. The most stressful job was lower and lifting the APU.
This triple Tomas team power daaaaaamn... only Kat missing and it's closing the circle of the Slovakish power i ll never forget in my life ahahah Kepp it up. Such a good work :)
The crank-mechanism i used to work with wass a pain sometimes, especially when moving the apu downwards; always hold the springloaded grip for the brake-assy inside the crank, otherwise it would be un-braked rush down into the ground :/ Great video!
As a safety tip: If you do an operational test of the APU with the compartment doors open, you need an external fire extinguisher. The one installed on the airplane will be ineffitient with that configuration. Very good video anyway!
For super critical things like torquing mounting nuts, do you double check each other's work? Do you have to complete check lists for all critical things like that?
Very good job and very interesting to Bi honest, can you please tell me how to get the license of mecahanic aircraft, o the moment I work mecanic industrial repairing and maintenance, thenkyou and have great success.
I don’t know if you know this but you have a twin on UA-cam called Misha, he’s more of a car guy than a plane guy but you know, planes trains and automobiles, All the same. 😂 love the vids!
Nice video, please I need a video with the trips and tricks with safety wire, my test for my license it´s going to be soon and I don´t wanna fail. Hope you could help with me with that.
Of course, you can and it is better to do it after replacement, bcs you see directly if there is a problem. You just need a fire extinguisher near you. Our hangar is properly equipped for such tests so I'm ok.
Depends if one of the generators is inop. You can use APU as a second generator but in standard conditions, it is off after the last engine start, due to fuel safe
Просто все так устроено, и снимается удобно и просто. В машине пока двигатель или коробку передач снимешь, то зелёный станешь. А проводов и трубок в машине в 10раз больше.
Going to replace APU first time. Hope your video will helpful for me. I'm worried about Hoist connection and adjustment of the same. I hope everything goes well
@@zeto.r I understand the goal of APU is of course different, and there must be space constraints as well. Also years ago I asked an electronic engineer why the reason for the 400Hz in aviation power instead of 50 or 60Hz. Basically with higher frequencies you can have smaller generators for the same power.
I had bit of time and this is an environment in which I need to work, I know it is bit too loud but sometimes it is hard to find time to record something. sorry for that
I rejected any idea of being a mechanic for any equipment as a young person due this thin of angling yourself in tight places to remove bolts and nuts , such a tedious working environment
Awsome dude, I'm studying to be an aircraft mechanic and I've always been looking for a channel like this. From Hungary❤😮
I'm glad to hear that 😊. Hope that I will be able to provide as much info as possible.
A job well done! I've replaced my fair share of APU's and this video was fun to watch now that I'm retired. !:- )
I am an engineer in a MRO company that repairs APS3200.Thank you for the wonderful insight. Now I know how my customers remove their APU.👍🏻
And I would like to see how to maintain APU in the shop🙂
It's quite a straight forward job.😎

Well done, actually work is easy when you know what to do.
Absolutely amazing video man. The way how you are able to capture the whole process is pretty cool
Thank you, I'm trying my best 🙂
Damn fascinating! Thanks for another superbly filmed and produced video.
my pleasure :-)
krásna práca, radosť pozerať!!
Som rád že tu mam aj slovenske publikum ☺️
This triple Tomas team power daaaaaamn... only Kat missing and it's closing the circle of the Slovakish power i ll never forget in my life ahahah
Kepp it up. Such a good work :)
This is how we do it 😎 Tomáš power 😀
Ooo yeah ! Now I m working on ENG and FLC station. This help me. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
The crank-mechanism i used to work with wass a pain sometimes, especially when moving the apu downwards; always hold the springloaded grip for the brake-assy inside the crank, otherwise it would be un-braked rush down into the ground :/
Great video!
I feel your pain 😄, sometimes it can be really hard to drop it down and it takes a lot of time. I'm happy you like it 🙂
Wow, it's been years since I saw oil in a can! :-o Nice video!
Thank you 🙂
Nice effort.❤
Thanks 😊
super video, som prekvapený ako airbus mysli na mechanikov :D
Tak ako v čom ako kde 😁
As a safety tip: If you do an operational test of the APU with the compartment doors open, you need an external fire extinguisher. The one installed on the airplane will be ineffitient with that configuration.
Very good video anyway!
Yes, I had a fire extinguisher next to me. This is a must 🙂 thank you
Also pro tip: don’t start the video with an alarm blaring where your voice can’t even be heard.
Aaahhh... The paperwork ;) Great job making these videos ;)
Thank you I really appreciate your message
Very interesting video. I learned a lot in a short time.
Glad to hear it!🙂
You are marvelous. Congratulations as a pilot
Thank you very much!
awsome change out.team work is good.i love aviation mechanics.good vidio
Thank you 🙂
For super critical things like torquing mounting nuts, do you double check each other's work?
Do you have to complete check lists for all critical things like that?
Yes we need to double check every step🙂
@@zeto.r thank you.
Your videos are fascinating 👍
Thank you 🙂
Thanks for the information now I know what to do next time I replace the apu on my a320
Happy to hear that
Funny and original!!
Thank you
Very good job and very interesting to Bi honest, can you please tell me how to get the license of mecahanic aircraft, o the moment I work mecanic industrial repairing and maintenance, thenkyou and have great success.
hello, first of all thank you. ua-cam.com/video/C4a8qB42mzM/v-deo.html in this video I made a bit of summary about it, so take look
Hi,
While you were testing the APU , you kept open the apu doors . In case of any fire situation , is it correct?
Thank you for your good videos
Yes, correct. You need a fire extinguisher on-site
perfect, thank you.
You're welcome!
I don’t know if you know this but you have a twin on UA-cam called Misha, he’s more of a car guy than a plane guy but you know, planes trains and automobiles, All the same. 😂 love the vids!
Yes I heard about this guy already 😁, maybe one day we will make something together 🤣
@@zeto.r hahahaha maybe taxi a a320 round the Norberg ring 😂😂
@@cameronrussell7679why not 😄
@@zeto.r 😂
Very nice task
What company do you work with?
Thank you. I'm working in Austrian Airlines.
@@zeto.r any vacancies 😊
Gracias a todos los mecánicos que participaron en el trabajo del APU.....
Nice video, please I need a video with the trips and tricks with safety wire, my test for my license it´s going to be soon and I don´t wanna fail. Hope you could help with me with that.
What kind? That is straightforward 🤷♂️
Thanks for sharing! very nice video!
My pleasure
Hi ! How is possible to enter to Austria in a entry level mechanic position ?
Thanks for your response !
You need to take a look at the career page for open positions and what are the criteria for that position 🙂
Top demais ❤❤
Thank you 🙂
surprisingly straightforward, i thought swapping the apu would be substantially more involved. looks like a pleasure working on these planes!
I hope so boeing guy going to start on 320s next month
Can we start the apu with the left door open.? How to contain the fire if occurs any? I know it was open for leak check etc but....
Of course, you can and it is better to do it after replacement, bcs you see directly if there is a problem. You just need a fire extinguisher near you. Our hangar is properly equipped for such tests so I'm ok.
Any video of passenger seat removal
I don't have one since I'm not part of the cabin team but you have a lot of seats every company have also different configuration
@@zeto.r I want to see removal installation of HMU CFM 56-5B
what happens to the old apu? Thank you, greetings from Italy!!!
Well, just a shop visit
Is the SO I only used in emergency.
What is SO?
Does the APU run during the flight, or do the main engines provide the power?
Depends if one of the generators is inop. You can use APU as a second generator but in standard conditions, it is off after the last engine start, due to fuel safe
Can use it to supply the packs instead of engines if you need more power for take off right ?
I am amazed that you can operate Apu in side the hangar!
Why not doors are open so there is no danger
@@zeto.r Our airline and local authorities do not allow that ! good for you!

I removed the engine on the car and it was ok, The time of removal is based on experience and tools
You are great
Thank you 🙂
Going to replace APU first time.
Hope your video will helpful for me.
I'm worried about Hoist connection and adjustment of the same.
I hope everything goes well
Hopefully, it will give you some guidance. Let me know if it will ok🙂😉
Do you need to torque APU mounting
For sure
👍 great. 😊
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent
Any Engine removal procedure of cfm56
Not at the moment
Thank you
thank you
My pleasure
All thing was right and as per procedure but in last you not inspected the MCD FOR particles after 10minute RUNUP.
and even no bleed the FUEL LINE .
I would assume that he just didn't show it as he mentioned they performed all necessary tests.
You got it right, I will not show everything. For that you have the manual. 🙂
What is the model of your headlamp
Take look on video about it here on my channel
How many man-hours you guys spend for this task?
Well, it depends if everything is prepared and how many parts you need to transfer from old APU to new one
❤
all that in one shift??
Yes of course it is not that hard if you have a good team and you know where all the things are 😉
Niceeee
Thanks 🤗
Don’t forget printe apu hours before start remove
Done, all C/B pulled, I just didn't record it 🙂 because my colleague did it
will the inspector punish you for not wearing a helmet and safety harness?🧐
We are not wearing helmets and since we have basically the biggest platform, which you can get why you need the harness?
Now I can replace my own APU in the garage..
I'm happy that you have guidance now
I didn't know APUs were so unsexy compared to the main engines
It must be very compact. I made a separate video where I explained why it is like that
@@zeto.r I understand the goal of APU is of course different, and there must be space constraints as well. Also years ago I asked an electronic engineer why the reason for the 400Hz in aviation power instead of 50 or 60Hz. Basically with higher frequencies you can have smaller generators for the same power.
Starting the video with an incredibly loud alarm was a terrible choice.
I had bit of time and this is an environment in which I need to work, I know it is bit too loud but sometimes it is hard to find time to record something. sorry for that
