Q

Aircraft danger zones-fixed

NZAP reference for aircraft danger zones

A

wake- thrust produced by the propeller can have high wind speeds

windmilling- turbo-prop propellers are capable of rotating on their own if there is sufficient wind blowing

strobe/night effects- rotating props may appear stationary under certain lights

stationary blade danger- walking into a stationary prop may cause injury

blade markings-light ac:black and white
large ac- white/red/white painted prop tips

Q

major safety precaution associated with propeller driven aircraft

A

the major safety precaution associated with propeller driven aircraft is to never walk through the propeller arc, especially important whenever ground power is connected to the aircraft

Q

aircraft danger zones-helicopter

NZAP reference for aircraft danger zones

A

main rotor

  • as the speed of rotation diminishes, the blade can sag/sail to body height
  • if the helicopter is on sloping ground the height above ground on the uphill side will be reduced

tail rotor
-can swing suddenly especially during take off

downwash
-creates a turbulent column of high velocity air

Q

safety precautions to be observed when working around helicopters with engines running

A

approach and leave the aircraft only with the prior permission of the person occupying the pilots seat

approach and leave the aircraft from the desired or acceptable zones as shown in the aircraft safety and servicing notes

never walk under the rotor disc on start up or shut down due to the possibility of blade sail

avoid the tail rotor and exhaust areas when aircraft running

beware of reduced rotor to ground clearances when operating on uneven surfaces

beware of the effects of downwash

Q

when a RF hazard is present or suspected, what needs to happen?

A

the NCO I/C armament is to halt work until

  • the RF hazard has been removed
  • the RF hazard has been suppressed by placing a one metre square HERO sign in a prominent position in front of AC
  • enforce the following restrictions during the physical loading/unloading of EEDs:

1- no radio transmission from vehicles withing 10 metres of the aircraft
2- no aircraft radio transmissions within 20 metres of the aircraft
3- no transmissions from the susceptible aircraft
4-no transmissions from flightline radios within 5 metres of the aircraft
5-no transmissions from visiting/civilian aircraft. contact with the control tower may be necessary to ensure supression
6- no portable telephone transmissions within 5 metres of the aircraft

16
Q

what are the safety distances for the operations for transmitters

reference

A

fuelling and defuelling operations are to be carried out so that the fuelling zones are at least 10 metres from any operating VHF or UHF radio,
