Amt 121 Flashcards
airplanes must be assembled and rigged in strict accordance wit the airplanes “________”
manufacturer’s Instruction.
improper procedures can “________” and i its not rigged properly. it cannot fly as the manufacturer designed it to do.
damage the aircraft
Issued by the FAA list pertinent rigging information that must be adhered to
TCDS - Type Certificate Data Sheet
Provide information on the assembly part of the aircraft
Manufacturer’s maintenance manual
What are the five steps of airplane assembly
Installing the wings and landing gear
Levelling the airplane
Aligning The Wings
Installing and aligning the empennage
Symmetry Check
Before installing ————— Support the fuselage by the method recommended by manufacturer.
landing gear
This sometimes involves constructing a heavy ———-with support cut to conform to the fuselage frame that the manufacturer recommended.
wooden cradle
of most low wing airplane is in the wing so the wings must be installed first
The landing Gear
These supports shoud be well padded to prevent damage to the aircraft skin
Installing the wings and landing gear
what is used sometimes to suppport the cut to confrom the fuselage
Heavy wooden Cradle
a bob of lead or another heavy material forming the weight of a plumb line
Plump Bob
with the wings and landing gear installed, the next step is to —————–
Level the airplane
The —– for the particular airplane, specifies the method the manufacturer used for leveling the airplane should use this —–
TCDS
Same method
an instrument consisting of a telescope mounted on a flat graduated circular plate on a tripod
Surveyor’s Transit
A curved glass tube partially filled with a liquid, but with a bubble in it.
Spirit Level
When the device in which the tube is mounted is level, the bubble will be the center of the tube.
Spirit Level
What are the tools use in levelling the aircraft
Plump bob
Surveyor’s Transit
Spirit Level
What are the two important alignments made for then wings of an airplane?
Dihedral and the angle of incidence
The angle which an incident line or ray makes with a perpendicular to the surface a the point of incidence
Angle of Incidence
the angle of incidence is checked at the point specified by the manufacturer using —- or an ——- and ——
Protractor, Incidence board, spirit level
The aligning of the wings specified usually includes:
Wing Dihedral Angle
Wing incidence angle
verticality of the fin
engine alignment
a symmetry check
horizontal stabilizer incidence
horizontal stabilizer dihedral
The positive angle formed bnetween the lateral axis of an airplane and a line which passes through the center of the wing or the horizontal stabilizer.
Dihedral
the dihedral angle is checked with a —-
Dihedral board and a spirit level
is checked with a dihedral board and a spirit level
