Flight/NAMP/AIMD/NALCOMIS/NATOPS Flashcards
Acceleration?
Rate of change of the speed and or velocity of matter with time
Speed?
Rate of movement in terms of distance measured in an allotted amount of time
Velocity?
Quickness or speed of an object in a given time and direction
Newtons 1st law
Inertia- an object at rest will remain at rest, or an object in motion will remain in motion at the same speed and in the same direction until acted upon by an outside source.
Newtons 2nd law
Force- an object moving with uniform speed is acted upon by an external force, the change of motion, or acceleration, will be directly proportional to the amount of force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object being moved.
Newtons 3rd law?
Actin and reaction- for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Bernoullis principle?
When a fluid flowing through a tube reaches a constriction or narrowing if the tube, the speed of the fluid passing through the constriction is increased and it’s pressure decreased.
Lift?
The force that acts, in an upward direction, to support the aircraft in air.
Weight?
The force of gravity acting downward on the aircraft and everything on the aircraft
Drag
The force that tends to hold an aircraft back.
Thrust?
The force developed by the aircrafts engine
Basic components of the aircraft?
Ailerons, elevators, rudder
What do ailerons control?
Roll-longitudinal axis
What do the elevators control?
Pitch-lateral axis
What does the rudder control?
Yaw-vertical axis
What type of aircraft has a cyclic stick?
Rotary wing aircraft
What does the cyclic stick control?
Roll/pitch
What type of aircraft has a collective?
Helicopter
What is a flap?
Leading/trailing edge- creates extra lift by lengthening the top section of the wing
What is a spoiler used for?
Used to decrease or spoil wing life by destroying the smooth flow of air over the wing surface.
What are speed breaks?
Hinged or moveable control surfaces used for reducing the speed of an aircraft
What are slats?
Movable control surfaces attached to the leading edge of the wing.
Explain angle of attack?
The angle at which the airfoil or fuselage meets a flow of air
Explain the purpose of auto rotation?
Method of allowing a helicopter to land safely from altitude without using engine power.
5 basic components of the hydraulic system
Reservoir, pump, tubing, selector valve, actuating unit
Basic components of a main landing gear
Shock strut assembly, tires, wheel break assembly, retracting and extending mechanism, side strut supports
What does NAMP stand for?
Naval aviation maintenance program
Who establishes the NAMP?
CNO/COMNAVAIRFOR
What is the publication for the NAMP?
4790.2B CH-1
What are the three levels of maintenance described in the NAMP?
Organizational level, intermediate level, depot level
What is the O-level?
Maintenance which is preformed by an operating unit on a day-to-day basis in support of its own operations
Example of an O-level command?
VFA-113, VAQ-139, HS-15, HSM-73, VAW-116
Example of an I-level command?
AIMD
D-level command
Maintenance preformed on material requiring major overhaul or rebuilding of parts, assemblies, sub assemblies, and end items
Name two types of maintenance described in the NAMP?
Rework and upkeep
Explain upkeep
Turnaround inspections, daily inspections, special inspections, conditional inspections, phase inspections, acceptance inspections, transfer inspections
Explain rework
More intensive type of maintenance preformed at the depot level
What is a turnaround inspection?
Conducted between flights to ensure the integrity of the aircraft for flight.
How long is a turnaround inspection good for?
24 hours
What is a daily inspection?
Conducted to inspect for defects to a greater depth than the turnaround inspection
How long is a daily inspection good for?
72 hours
What is a special inspection?
Scheduled inspection with a prescribed interval other than daily or phase
How long is a special inspection good for?
Intervals are specified in the applicable PMS publication- elapsed calendar time, flight hours, operating hours, number of cycles
