ASA General Codes Flashcards
What kind of rope is best to tie down an aircraft?
Nylon or polypropylene.
What kind of knot is used for securing an airplane with a rope?
Bowline.
What is the proper type of nondestructive inspection to use for locating surface cracks in an aluminum alloy casting or forging?
Fluorescent of visual dye penetrant.
What is the principle upon which ultrasonic inspection is based?
Any fault within a material will change the material’s resonant frequency. Comparing the resonant frequency of a known sound material with the material under test will indicate the presence of a fault
What is the procedure when making a dye penetrant inspection of a part?
Clean the part thoroughly, apply the penetrant, and allow it to soak for the recommended dwell time. Remove all of the penetrant from the surface and apply the developer.
How does the reporting of hazards within an organization tie into the overall safety policy?
Management of an organization defines and controls the safety policy as they are the ones who are ultimately responsible for safety within the organization. There must be clear goals that are openly communicated regarding the reporting of hazards for safety goals to be met.
Why is good communication important in an aviation work environment?
Individuals have differing ways of expressing and receiving ideas, opinions, and instructions. If a team of aviation mechanics is going to work together on a large project, it is vital that they understand each other and can perform the work safely and efficiently. In addition to communicating clearly with each other, they must also be able to communicate clearly with supervisors, the aircraft owner, and the suppliers of aircraft parts and services.
What is a reactive approach to hazard identification?
The reactive approach to hazard identification investigates accidents, incidents, and events. The investigation occurs after the occurrence.
What is a proactive approach to hazard identification?
The proactive approach to hazard identification actively identifies safety hazards through analysis of the organization’s activities through mandatory and voluntary reporting systems, safety audits, and safety surveys.
What is a predictive approach to hazard identification?
The predictive approach to hazard identification captures system performance as it happens during normal operations, such as observing a mechanic’s performance during a heavy check.
