skydrol

Purple-colored phosphate ester base aircraft hydraulic fluid used by jets because of its better fire resistance than mineral base hydraulic fluid (eg. 5606). Also known as the fucking devil. Its scent? The smell of fear. Got some skydrol on you? Enjoy your rash for the rest of the day, if you're lucky. Got it in your eyes? You'll wish it was just pepper spray. Not to mention it fucking gets everywhere, and makes a slippery mess of everything. Oh, and it eats paint and rubber too, so don't get it on your shoes.

I got a skydrol party when changing that ground spoiler actuator. I just wish I wasn't invited.

My brake bleeder hose burst and I got skydrol in my eyes. That was the worst pain I ever felt... and it went on for hours.

I got a skydrol bath taking the hydraulic reservoir out. I already took three showers, and my entire body still burns. Fuck skydrol.

After working with skydrol, make sure you wash your hands before you pee, or else we'll call you dick burns.

hell hole

An aircraft's tail compartment where air conditioning equipment, bleed air ducting, hydraulic reservoirs and filters, the APU, and other equipment are usually located. Named so because they're universally cramped, with parts placed in often devilish locations by engineers seemingly solely to screw over the A&P working on it. You will often find yourself working blind or being a contortionist because absolutely everything is in the way. In addition, they're hotter than hell when outside the hangar in the summer, especially when the APU was just run.

Dude, I gotta go in that G4's hell hole and change the rudder actuator. I'm gonna be soaked in sweat and Skydrol.

Send the new guy in the hell hole to change those filters.

I was working in the hell hole and cut the shit out of myself on a fucking cotter pin!
