Q

What are the 5 things personnel must ensure in the hangar when working on aircraft?

A

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

24
Q

What is an aircraft washed for?

A

To remove dirt and grime allowing potential faults to be seen.

25
Q

How can you prevent deterioration on the surface finish?

A

By restoring it when required.

26
Q

What does it mean by check?

A

Compare the item with the specified standard.

27
Q

What does it mean by disconnect?

A

Uncouple or detach cables, pipelines, or controls from an item.

28
Q

What does it mean by examine?

A

Undertake a comprehensive scrutiny, supplemented by measurement and physical testing as necessary to determine the condition of an item

29
Q

What does it mean by fit?

A

Correctly attach an item in or to another.

30
Q

What does it mean by look for damage?

A

Undertake a visual check for general signs of damage.

31
Q

What does it mean by make sure?

A

Make certain that the specified conditions are correct.

32
Q

What does it mean by operate?

A

Check, as far as can be determined without the use of test equipment or reference to measurements, that the item or system Is serviceable and functions correctly.

33
Q

What does it mean by refit?

A

Fit the item that has been previously removed.

34
Q

What does it mean by remove?

A

Remove the item and fit a new/or serviceable item.

35
Q

What does it mean by replenish?

A

Refill or restock a tank, bottle or other container, to a predetermined level, pressure or quantity.

36
Q

What does it mean by zonal survey?

A

A general visual examination of a specialised zone to detect damage, deterioration, and discrepancies and access the general condition of the zone.

37
Q

What does it mean by test?

A

Undertake, using the appropriate test equipment, a critical trial or examination of one or more properties or characteristics of the item or system to make certain that it is serviceable.

38
Q

What does it mean by loose articles?

A

Loose articles are classified as any items that have been dropped, lost, become detached or unaccounted for in and around the aircraft creating a potential hazard to the aircraft.

39
Q

What are the typical loose articles found?

A

Typical items include, hand tools, pens, coins, nuts, bolts, washers and split pins.

40
Q

What does it mean by foreign object debris (FOD)?

A

Any item or material, other than birds or wildlife, that originates from any source, either external to or part of an aircraft, and which then has the potential to cause damage.

41
Q

What is the purpose of examination?

A

To find defects that can: reduce flight safety, decrease the life of a component, reduce performance.

42
Q

What is the purpose of aircraft weighing?

A

To ensure the mass and C of G remain within limits.

43
Q

What effects on the aircraft can occur by changing the C of G?

A

Handling

Performance and dangerously increase structural loads leading to increased fatigue and possible loss of aircraft.

44
Q

What is basic weight?

A
