Introduction
 Maintenance for aircraft is a very important aspect in the aviation
industry as it ensures the safety of passengers, crew, and cargo. This
explains why, in 2017, more than 131,500 aircraft mechanics and
service technicians were
employed in the United States’ aviation industry. Mechanics and
technicians who provide various services such as repair and
maintenance of aircraft need to have sufficient knowledge and
experience as they are dealing with one of the most sensitive
machines ever made. So what are the top aircraft maintenance tools?
 However, it is important to highlight that aircraft maintenance does
not only require training, knowledge, and experience. It also requires
advanced tools and equipment. There needs to be advanced aviation
equipment for technicians so that they can deliver quality repair and
maintenance. Some of the most important tools and equipment used
in aircraft maintenance are discussed below.
Speed Handle
 Civilian aircraft mechanics don’t
have enough time to move from
one aircraft trying to solve the
problem and then moving to
another aircraft. There is a lot of
work to be done within a short
period. A speed handle is one of
the most advanced tools in
aircraft maintenance. It is a long
screw that allows technicians to
spin quickly and remove a screw
head with one hand while the
other hand is handling other
repairs. This is a very important
tool, especially when repairing a
high-end engine with thousands
of screws.
Torque Wrench
 Most of the screws and
fasteners on the helicopter
rotor need to be installed to a
specific tightness or torque.
However, most of the spanners
available for tightening a bolt
or a nut are not very effective
in fastening various screws.
The only reliable method of
tightening a nut into a specific
torque is through the use of a
calibrated torque wrench. Most
of the torque wrenches are
designed to be set at various
torque amounts, which makes
them very effective in aircraft
maintenance and repair.
Vibration Meter

Vibration analysis in an aircraft is very


important in ensuring that the aircraft is safe
while in air. A vibration meter has the role of
measuring vibration levels on the aircraft. A
vibration meter measures in kilograms and
highlights the maximum vibration that an
aircraft can hold. A vibration meter will help
the pilot to understand the magnitude of the
vibrations on the aircraft so that he can act
accordingly and maintain the safety and
integrity of the aircraft. An aircraft that does
not have a vibration meter is a disaster
waiting to happen and is likely to experience
rotor blade problems and other issues to do
with structural integrity.
Safety Wire Pliers
Although a lot of effort is done to
ensure that most of the fasteners are
working as intended and using the
right torque, safety wires are also
included to ensure that at no time the
nuts and bolts will loosen. A safety
wire pliers are used in holding large
aluminum wires and tying them
together to form huge and strong
braids. The wires are ‘tied’ strongly
and using maximum toughness to
ensure that there are no problems on
the nuts and bolts.
Metal Working Tools

Rivet gun
Drill
 Airplanes are made of metal, especially in major frames and
structures in the entire aircraft. Therefore, for any mechanical
repair, there must be the necessary metal working tools. Most
of the metal working tools are used in fastening metal,
bending metals, and cutting metals. Some of the common
metal working tools include rivet guns and drills, and they are
mostly used in installing rivets which are essential in holding
Mirrors
 This looks funny, but mirrors are essential tools in
aircraft repair. In most cases, mechanics don’t see
some parts of the aircraft. Technicians don’t have a
direct line of sight in some critical parts that need to
be checked regularly. Sometimes, the only way to see
such an area is by using a mirror rather than
dismantling the whole wing.
Summary
Maintenance for aircraft is a very important aspect in the
aviation industry as it ensures the safety of passengers,
crew, and cargo.When servicing civil aircraft, it is
necessary to use only high-quality certified equipment
and tools.
