7.2 And 7.3 Flashcards
What has to be put on tools
Corrosion resistant finishes and sealed mechanisms
How can basic tools be cleaned
A stiff brush or rag
How do you clean a work bench metal and wooden
Metal - cleaned with an oily rag
Wooden - with a stiff brush
How should you maintain a vice
Wipe over frequently with an oily rag, lubricate the moving jaw screw bearings and threads
How should you maintain a drilling machine
Cleaned inspected and regularly lubricated
How should grinders be maintained
Keep clean from dust as much as possible, bearings should be lubricated regularly, but oil and grease can’t come into contact with the grinding shell
How should motor drives be maintained
Must be kept clean and free of dust both externally and internally, must have regular maintenance from authorised personnel
How should measuring instruments be maintained
Stored in their own protective case
How should drill bits and reamers be maintained
Drill bits - kept in a drill bit stand when not in use
Reamers - kept in boxes or laid in grooved trays for various sizes of reamers
What must part 145 have a method for
Tool control
What should you do if a tool is missing
Report it to a supervisor
Why is tool control so important
Because it can lead to loss of life or loss of aircraft depending on the damage
Why is it more common for personal tools to not be allowed in a part 145
Because it ensure better tool control through the company stores
What should be used in the trays of tool kits
Shadow foam
What is a shadow board
Storage of pliers, screwdrivers, ratchets, spanner’s, hammers as well as other tools are kept and can easily be seen if a tool is missing
What should you use if taking a tool for, a shadow board or stores
A tool tag
If using personnel tools what do you need
A tool list
When checking out a specialised tool what is needed and what is recorded
A tool tag and the person checking it out name
What do you do if at the end of your shift you want to transfer a tool to another engineer
Transfer there tool tag for yours
What is the most important check with tools
End of shift check
What happens if there is an outstanding entry in stores
An investigation is carried out to look for the tool because it can become FOD
Can tools that require recalibration be sent off before the expiry date
Yes
What must be available for all materials used in the workshop
Material safety data sheets (MSDS)
Where must many aircraft seal earns be stored
In a refrigerator
What is a dimension
A measurable limit
What is tolerance
Total amount by which a given dimension is allowed to vary
What are most tolerances
Bilateral
When can a tolerance be used
Examining the dimension of a single part or when comparing the dimensional relationship between two parts
What is a clearance fit
A fit that allows sliding or rotating between two parts
What is an interference fit
When the dimension of two parts overlap
What is an allowance
Minimum clearance space intended between two parts
How is the allowance worked out
Difference between maximum material dimensional limits of mating parts creates the allowance
What is workmanship
Skill, quality, result
What do standard of workmanship depend on
The person doing the work and the tools they have
How do you know if the tool is calibrated
A labelling system that says when it was last calibrated and when it next needs to be calibrated
What should all maintenance organisations keep when it comes to calibrated tools
A register that specifies the tools that need periodic calibration
The interval of the inspections and calibrations should be in accordance with who
The manufacturer
Sensitive instruments like electrical instruments should be calibrated when and by who
Before use by the user and also a periodic calibration
If an item is showing signs of damage or when the measurement is in doubt what should you do
Label unserviceable and must not return to service until determined serviceable
What must you check before using any calibrated tool
That it’s within its calibration date and that it is properly calibrated
Why is calibration essential on a torque wrench
Accuracy and longevity
What is the best way to check a torque wrench
Use a torque analyser
What is the analyser
A calibrated instrument to which the torque wrench is attached and required force is applied
Who carries out calibration of torque wrenches
Approved personnel
How are pressure gauges and transmitters calibrated
By hydraulic pumps which use wither water or oil
Is it possible for micrometers to slip out of calibration
Yes
What do all screwdrivers come in
Various sizes
How can you determine the size of a flat head
By the blade gauge (thickness) and blade width
How much of the screw must the screwdriver tip fill
75%
Where is the use of a slotted screwdriver used on aircraft
Quick release fasteners for various access doors, panels trim and so on
What’s the difference between Phillips and reed and prince
Philips has a slightly larger centre in the cross and the Philips screwdriver is blunt
What is the point angle on a Philips screwdriver
30°
Why is it important to pick the correct size screw head
So you don’t round off the screw and bounce out
What is the reed and prince screw tip like
Pointy
What is the reed and prince point angle
45°
What screws are reed and prince screw drivers used with
Fears on screws
What is the pozidriv
An improved version of Philips
Because of its design what does it have more of than Philips
Contact area
Why should you take care when using a posidriv screwdriver
Can be easily mistaken with a Philips
