25
What must happen to the fuel levels in the tank of an aircraft when in storage to prevent microbiological corrosion ?
They must be full
26
What happens to the seats of an aircraft to prevent the UV light from damaging them when an aircraft is in storage ?
Covered over
27
When an aircraft is In storage how often should it be visually inspected ?
7 and 15 day intervals. ( tyre pressure should be checked for periods longer than 20 months. )
28
What aircraft systems may require functional tests when stored ?
Nose steering Braking systems Engines and APU Air conditioning systems
29
What can happen if you use adhesive tape on an aircraft which is in storage ?
Paint can discolour or transfer.
30
What does the oil in the APU or engines be replaced with to prevent corrosion ?
Corrosion inhibitors.
31
What can replace or be mixed with the fuel to prevent corrosion from forming ?
Inhibitors
32
What the two categories for aviation fuel ?
Aviation gas Turbine fuels
33
How is aviation gas graded ?
It’s octane number.
34
What’s the grade of red, green and blue aviation gas ?
Red - 80 Green - 100 Blue - 100LL ( low leaded )
35
What’s the 3 types of turbine fuels and their freeze points ?
Jet A - 40 degrees Jet A-1 - 47 degrees Jet B - 50 degrees ( all turbine fuels are colourless )
36
What’s the two types of fuelling methods ?
Gravity Pressure
37
What’s the re-fuelling pressure ?
50psi ( 1000 gallons per minute )
38
What’s the de-fuelling pressure ?
11 psi
39
Can drained fuel be reused ?
No but if there is a concession in a company’s procedure then they can on there own aircraft.
40
What can possibly happen when de fuelling ?
Aircraft’s CG is moved and could cause tail to tip or over stress the wings.
41
What must the aircraft and fuel truck be before re - fuelling ?
Grounded
42
How much should the safety zone around fuel tank ( NACA ) extend by when refuelling ?
3m
43
How far should no smoking signs be placed from refuel zones ?
15m
44
When an aircraft is in a Cold-soak configuration, what temp dos it have to be bellow ?
0 degrees
45
What temp does the airframe have to range in indorder for airframe icing to form ?
0 - minus 10 degrees ( if temp is below -20 then the moisture is already frozen in the atmosphere meaning is less likely to accumulate on aircraft surfaces )
46
Whats de - icing ?
Procedure to remove ice ( de-icing fluids are heated )
47
Whats anti - icing ?
Procedure to protect surfaces from ice forming for a limited amount of time. ( holdover time )
48
Whats the two methods when de-icing and anti-icing ?
One step method - mix de-icing and anti-icing fluids and apply to aircraft a one. Two step method - de-ice aircraft the immediately follow with anti-ice fluids.
49
Whats the 4 types of de-icing and anti-icing fluids ?
Type 1 - used for de-icing Type 2 - used for anti-icing Type 3 - used for low aircraft Type 4 - same as type 2 but have a higher holdover time. ( water can be added to extend holdover times )
50
How long do you have after de-icing an aircraft to apply anti-ice before de-icing fluids begin to freeze ?
3 minutes
51
When does the holdover time start on a one-step de-icing process ?
From the start of the application
52
When does the holdover time start On a two-step de-icing and anti-icing process ?
Start of the anti-icing application.
53
What must an anti-fluid code include ?
Type of fluid, Percentage of fluid to water, Time application began
54
Whats the DC supply for an aircraft ?
28vdc
55
How many pins does a DC GPU have ?
3 pins 1 positive pin 2 negative pin 3 earth pin
56
What’s the AC supply for an aircraft ?
155 Vac
57
Does a battery powered GPU have a AC or DC power supply ?
DC ( batteries ) ( can last for 10-12 aircraft Turn arounds )
58
How much volts does a utility GPU supply ?
110-220 vac
59
When would you use a hydraulic ground supply ?
Where the aircraft isn’t In a position to run the APU or engines and you need hydraulic pressure to perform maintenance. ( driven through diesel engine )
60
What is a pneumatic ground air unit used for ?
To provide small amounts of pressure which can start engines and heat and cool the plane. ( consists of a APU )
61
What can be placed around the wheel to stop snow from freezing the wheels to the ground ?
Sand - but only around wheels and no where else as the engines could suck it up.
62
What should replace all water and waste systems in cold weather ?
Anti freeze solution.
63
What can hot weather cause on an aircraft’s take-off and landing distances ?
Become longer due to low density air.
