Just did a MD-90 ground return.  Right engine generator diode fail.  Ground crew was no where to be found, suprise, suprise, suprise.  My lead and I parked the aircraft, chocked it, and MEL'ed the diode and generator.  Still waiting on fueling and ground crew so they can push back out.

So, who's going to fix the aircraft tonight?  Line maintenance or take it over to Delta North?

Edit:  Then again, do we even have the parts to fix it readily available?  Probably in Minneapolis.

I guess I'll pop in here as the token 2101 Airway Transportation Systems Specialist for a 3-letter agency you all know and love.



I work on power generation/distribution, approach lighting (MALSR, MALSF, ALSF-2), PAPI and a bunch of other stuff in the NAS.  It's not a bad gig at all!

Well, if the ground crew ever got off their asses, the plane should have gone to MKE.  It got to the point were I was hitting double time, so mids took turnover then.

MD90 has a rather unique electrical system doesn't it?

Yes, it's called VSCF, or Variable Speed Constant Frequency.  I'm told it's common on fighter jets (I was never military), and bizjets.  The generator itself is only about 40 lbs, and is very quick to change, if we have to defer one to mechanical failure (usually we don't have one in stock), we have to remove the generator off of the engine, install a plug seal in the gearbox, remove the input shaft off of the generator, and reinstall the generator on the engine.  There is no disconnect that can be performed from the cockpit, you can only turn it off.  Supposively if there is a bad enough mechanical failure, the input shaft will shear, but the rumor is the generator will just burn off of the gearbox till the pilots deploy the fire bottle.

Don't quote me on the volts and freqs, but I think the generator will output up to 300V and 2000Hz, then its sent to the electric control boxes that will transform and rectify the voltage and freq down to 115V 400Hz.  Those boxes make a crap load of heat, so there's two scoops on the right side of the aircraft to feed cooling air to the control boxes.  The forward one is actually for number 2.

Currently active duty as a 15Y, but since I pinned on SSG rank, I do more paper-pushing and cat-herding than actual aircraft work.

Except on deployment...I spent the last two deployments being one of the few people who actually knew how to troubleshoot, and being one of a very small night-crew, so I did a lot of aircraft-related stuff in addition to herding cats and pushing paper.

I have my FCC license, and am working towards my BS in Aviation Maintenance Management with a minor in Aviation Safety. Once I finish that, and it gets a little closet to my ETS/Retirement date, I will look into getting my A&P. Unfortunately, for us Armament guys, the A&P is not "almost-automatic" like it is for the 15Rs...we usually have to take a few classes.

The AC G3 were called VSCF also, using the AC generator going to a converter for Regulated AC and DC.  When they came out we called them Very Slim Chance of Flight as the converters were shit and failed way too often. System has since been improved and the later G3s and the G4s were/are bulletproof.  Of course the 5s and later models are using IDGs

I just ETS'd from the Army in 95 and started installing avionics in GA aircraft during that time at $6 hour.  After almost two yours I left that place making almost $8 per hour doing the same thing.  Moved to Corpus Christi Army Depot for almost twice as much.

It's not surprising to see aviation personnel in contract work.  I believe you will always have a job

in aviation maintenance, sometimes you just might need to move.

I"m putting myself on the market now.  got a call at work from a higher up.. things don't look good (as suspected)
a ~30 day heads up is better than the 24hr one I got at my last big job.

I wish you luck, there's always a job in aviation for anyone who is willing to relocate.  Hell, I'm from the Chicago suburbs and I'm now living near Atlanta.
