Q

The investigator should keep in mind that aircraft accident sites are ____________________.

A

NOT ALWAYS CONVENIENTLY LOCATED

24
Q

The investigation at the accident site should begin with an assessment of the wreckage with particular attention to ensuring that _____________ and ______________ are within the wreckage pattern.

A

MAJOR STRUCTURAL and FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES

25
The investigator should place a _______________ in the ground to identify the location.
VISIBLE STAKE
26
By examining the impact marks, it is possible to form a PRELIMINARY MENTAL PICTURE of:
A. The direction, angle, and speed of descent B. Whether it was a controlled or uncontrolled descent C. Whether the engines were under power at the time of impact D. Whether the aircraft was structurally intact
27
NO PIECE OF WRECKAGE must be disturbed or removed until:
A. Its position is recorded B. An Identification number is painted on it on an undamaged area, or a label attached. C. Notes are made in the manner in which the piece struck the ground.
28
It is concerned with the investigation and reporting of the facts relating to the history of the flight and to the activity of the flight crew before, during, and after the flight in which the accident occurred.
OPERATIONS INVESTIGATION
29
This is used for both Operations and Human Factor investigation.
CREW HISTORIES
30
This focuses on establishing facts related to the Flight Crew.
CREW HISTORIES
31
Personal Record
1. Name, age, gender 2. Duty performed on-board 3. General record of aviation career 4. Medical History 5. Overall experience on aircraft type and aerodrome or route.
32
It gives the adequate requirements for flight duty, and rest period.
PCAR PART 8
33
The investigator should bear in mind that in some States it may be the responsibility of the _________ to interview witnesses during an investigation of an accident.
POLICE
34
The investigator must take great caution in receiving ________________ accounts.
EYEWITNESS
35
Investigation relates to determining and analyzing the path and attitude of the aircraft as it traveled through the air, or on the surface
Investigation relates to DETERMINING AND ANALYZING THE PATH AND ATTITUDE of the aircraft as it traveled through the air, or on the surface
36
Another area that the Aircraft Performance group will investigate upon is the ___________________of the Aircraft.
HANDLING QUALITIES
37
The main purpose of the Aircraft Performance Group is _________________________________________________.
TO DETERMINE THE FLIGHT PATH AND ALTITUDE OF THE AIRCRAFT
38
One of the basic functions of the Performance Group is __________________________________ through the air, or on the surface.
TO DOCUMENT AND ANALYZE THE MOTION OF THE AIRCRAFT
39
Simple analyses could be done ________________.
BY HAND
40
The trajectory represents a common reference for where an aircraft is expected to be - and when - at key points along its route.
The trajectory represents a COMMON REFERENCE for where an aircraft is expected to be - and when - at key points along its route.
41
It is a crash survivable system for recording parametric data parameters from the aircraft’s data systems.
FLIGHT DATA RECORDER
42
It is a crash survivable system for recording the internal acoustic environment of the flight deck and internal cockpit crew conversation.
COCKPIT VOICE RECORDER
43
It is the assembly of the various pieces of aircraft wreckage in their relative position before failure.
RECONSTRUCTION
44
In general, they are especially useful for events involving in-flight structural breakup, collisions, fires or explosions.
RECONSTRUCTIONS
45
3 Types of Reconstruction
SIMPLE LAYOUT COMPREHENSIVE 2-DIMENSIONAL LAYOUT 3-DIMENSIONAL LAYOUT
46
SIMPLE LAYOUT
LAYOUT SA ISANG FLOOR NA KA-WRECKAGE, GINAGAYA YUNG ACCIDENT SITE NA OUTSIDE SA ACTUAL SITE
47

basic group of five kinds of materials
METALS COMPOSITES CERAMICS POLYMERS SEMI-CONDUCTORS
50
The trend nowadays is gearing towards more ______________________.
EXOTIC MATERIALS
51
In-flight separations are usually the result of _______________, ________________, __________________ or _________________.
METAL FATIGUE IMPROPER DESIGN IMPROPER MAINTENANCE AERODYNAMIC LOADING
52
It is started during which other parts or components fail.
CHAIN OF EVENTS
53
They review the maintenance history of the airplane, the actions of the maintenance organization and its staff and the program under which it was maintained.
MAINTENANCE INVESTIGATION
54
A maintenance investigation encompasses 3 categories
* adequacy of maintenance performed * maintenance management capability * human factors
55
It refer to things such as non-destructive test equipment, work stands, calibrated torque wrenches, screwdrivers, test boxes, and special tools called out in maintenance procedures.
