Chapter 7 - Aiframe Maintenance Flashcards
What is the examination procedure?
Look (obvious signs of defects, faults or breaks) Clean (remove dirt) Look Feel (to find wear or play in an item) Listen (for unusual sounds) Smell
What are the maintenance requirements for the fuselage?
Damage Corrosion Rivets Lubrication Cracks Drains blocked Washing Wear Transparencies Surface finish
What does lubrication prevent?
Deterioration, corrosion and wear.
When should an aircraft be washed?
Periodically dependent on the operational environment.
What are you looking for when it comes to transparencies?
Crazing
Impact
With surface finish, what must you check for?
Deterioration
Mandatory markings
What are the maintenance terms for MAP-01?
Check Disconnect Exam Fit Inspect Look Remove Replace Replenish Test Zonal survey
What are the terms for SA2?
Make sure Operate Reconnect Refit Examine as far as possible
What are the 5 things personnel must ensure in the hangar when working on aircraft?
That they are free from potential loose articles
Work areas are kept free from loose articles
Only items necessary to undertake the task are to be taken out
Only the right amount of nuts, bolts are to be taken out for the task and must be accounted for
On completion of task a loose circuit check will be carried out in the work area making sure if any are found they are to be removed
What’s the maintenance for the undercarriage skid type?
Attachment Damage Wear Dents Scores Corrosion Bowing
What is the maintenance for the undercarriage wheeled type?
Damper charging
Brakes (wear, corrosion, leaks and overheating)
Wheels (corrosion)
Tyres (creep, uneven wear, cuts and splits, contamination, opening of thread joint, bulges or ageing)
What must you remember when working with tools?
That the correct tool control procedures must be maintained at all times when undertaking maintenance of an aircraft and associated equipment.
Where is impact damage normally affected?
All areas are subject to this form of maintenance
In what areas is corrosion usually expected?
Battery area, inside of panels, steel components, aluminium alloy components and undercarriage assembly.
What are lubrications used for?
Used to help reduce wear and extending the life of the components and the airframe.
When should doors and fairings be lubricated normally?
Hinged fairings and doors should be lubricated at regular intervals especially following an aircraft wash
What do rivets do?
Rivets fasten the airframe structure together, and in some cases hold on major components.
What should rivets be examined for?
To ensure their presence and that they form an adequate joint.
Where are crack usually found?
Often in inaccessible areas and therefore difficult to find.
How must cracks be tested?
All cracks must be crack tested, by using nondestructive testing techniques to determine their extremities.
With regards to drains, what must be kept clear and why?
Drain holes must be kept clear, from blockage to prevent the trapping of moisture within the airframe structure.
With regards to wear its is essential that the maintainer does what?
Recognises when detected wear is beyond the limit, or the rate of wear is sufficient enough to warrant further investigation.
