-1 chaper 2 Flashcards
The two most
important factors in preventing corrosion, and the only
ones which can be controlled by field personnel, are
the
removal of the electrolyte and the application of protective
coatings.
A
disciplined preventive maintenance program includes:
-Regularly scheduled aircraft washing
-Using clean water with low chloride content for
aircraft washing and rinsing
-Regularly scheduled cleaning or wipe down of all
exposed unpainted surfaces
-Keeping low-point drains open
-Inspection, removal, and reapplication of corrosion
preventative compounds (CPCs) on a scheduled basis
Earliest detection and repair of damaged
protective coatings
-Using padded panel racks to store panels/parts
for aircraft and equipment during maintenance and
using protective measures to prevent abrasions/
scratches resulting from placement of parts, tools, or
tool boxes on wings, fuselage or other aircraft surfaces.
A preventive
maintenance program at the Organizational/Unit and
Intermediate Maintenance Activities should:
-Reduce the maintenance time spent repairing
corrosion damage.
-Improve avionic system reliability, durability, and
service life.
-Make the military avionics community aware of
the extent of the problem.
-Report any deficiencies with materials and
processes associated with corrosion control.
corrosion control programs as required by the
parent service organization, what is used for the NAVY?
OPNAVINST 4790.2
An effective corrosion control
program shall include thorough cleaning, inspection,
preservation, and lubrication, at specified intervals, in
accordance with?
01-1A-509 volumes II and III
Work center supervisors shall receive the
following training in accordance with parent service
directives:
-The recognition and elimination of hazards;
-Occupational safety and health;
-The safety of the individual;
-Accident investigation and reporting; and
-The inspection and maintenance of personal
protective equipment (PPE).
Supervisors shall ensure that all corrosion
control personnel are informed of:
-Current safety procedures;
-Characteristics of materials to which they will be
exposed; and
-Required protective clothing to ensure safety of
personnel.
supervisors shall ensure that:
adequate supply of safety equipment is in a ready-forissue condition, and that the personnel under their
control are given, and use, appropriate protective
equipment to prevent accidents, injuries, and
occupational illness.
responisbility of personnel:
Maintenance personnel shall use appropriate equipment while
exposed to hazardous conditions, and shall report to
the supervisor any protective equipment that is broken, damaged, defective, or inadequate. No one shall
use protective equipment that is not in a satisfactory
and serviceable condition. Personnel shall comply with
occupational safety and health requirements, including
medical examinations, respirator training and fit testing,
and use of protection for eyes, ears, head, skin, and feet.
Consumable materials and equipment listed in what volumes shall be used for corrosion control?
IV and V
When approved materials are not available,
substitutions shall only be made by the appropriate
Aircraft Controlling Custodians (ACC) or System Program Manager (SPM).
