### Safety Wiring Turnbuckles.
Safety wiring turnbuckles is an important step in securing critical aircraft components. There are two primary methods used to safety wire turnbuckles: double twist method and single twist method.
#### Double Twist Method.
1. **Step 1:** To safety wire turnbuckles using the double twist method, start by threading the safety wire through the hole in one end of the turnbuckle.
.
2. **Step 2:** Pull the safety wire across to the opposite end of the turnbuckle and thread it through the hole on that side.
.
3. **Step 3:** Twist the safety wire tightly around the turnbuckle at least two full turns.
.
4. **Step 4:** Using safety wire pliers, twist the two loose ends of the wire together in a double twist pattern.
.
5. **Step 5:** Cut off any excess wire using wire cutters, leaving a small tail to prevent unraveling.
#### Single Twist Method.
1. **Step 1:** The single twist method for safety wiring turnbuckles is slightly different. Start by threading the safety wire through the hole in one end of the turnbuckle.
.
2. **Step 2:** Pull the safety wire across to the opposite end of the turnbuckle and twist it tightly around the turnbuckle at least two full turns.
.
3. **Step 3:** Using safety wire pliers, twist the two loose ends of the wire together in a single twist pattern.
.
4. **Step 4:** Cut off any excess wire using wire cutters, leaving a small tail for security.
Both methods are effective ways to prevent turnbuckles from loosening during operation, ensuring the safety and integrity of the aircraft. It is important to follow proper procedures and adhere to regulations when safety wiring turnbuckles to maintain airworthiness and prevent accidents.
