AIMD, FLIGHT, NAMP & NALCOMIS Flashcards
Explain Acceleration
Change in speed over time
Explain Velocity
Speed of an object in a given time and direction
Explain Speed
Distance measured over time
State Newton’s First Law
An object at rest will remain at rest, or an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
State Newton’s Second Law
If an object in motion at uniform speed is acted upon by an external force, the acceleration/deceleration of the object will be directly proportional to the amount of force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
State Newton’s Third Law
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Explain Bernoulli’s Principle
When a fluid flowing in a tube reaches a constriction, the speed of the fluid will increase and the pressure will decrease.
Explain Lift
The force that acts in an upward direction to support an aircraft.
Explain Weight
The force of gravity acting downward on the aircraft.
Explain Drag
The force that tends to hold an aircraft back.
Explain Thrust
Force developed by the aircraft’s engines.

Rework
Upkeep
Explain Rework.
More intensive maintenance done at the D-level.
Explain Upkeep.
Turnaround, daily, special, conditional and phase inspections
How often are turnaround inspections performed and how long are they good for?
24 hours
Conducted between flights to ensure the integrity of the aircraft
How often are daily inspections performed and how long are they good for?
72 hours
Inspects for defects at a greater depth than a turnaround
How often are special inspections performed and how long are they good for?
Based on specific PMS
Performed at a specified interval, like every 5000 rounds fired, every 20 hours of flight, etc.
How often are conditional inspections performed and how ling are they good for?
Unscheduled
Performed when a limit is exceeded
