Definition of hazard
Any real or potential condition that can cause injury, illness, or death to personnel; damage to or loss of equipment or property; degradation of mission capability or impact to mission accomplishment; or damage to the environment.
Definition of mishap
An unplanned event or series of events resulting in death, injury, occupational illness; damage to or loss of equipment or property; or damage to the environment.
Definition of risk
An expression of possible loss, adverse outcome or negative consequence; such as injury, illness in terms of probability and severity.
Two focuses of Risk Management
Identify risk
Mitigate risk
Four principles of Risk Management
- Accept risk when benefits outweigh the cost
- Accept no unnecessary risk
- Anticipate and manage risk by planning
- Make risk decisions at the right level
Five-step Risk Management Process (I AM IS)
- Identify hazards
- Assess hazards
- Make risk decisions
- Implement controls
- Supervise
Six-phase Decision Making process (BAMCIS)
- Begin the planning
- Arrange for reconnaissance
- Make reconnaissance
- Complete the planning
- Issue the order
- Supervise
3 levels of the risk management process
- Time-critical
- Deliberate
- In-Depth
How many flaps? What type?
4 Flaps–each wing contains an outboard and inboard flap
Fowler high-lift type–combination of aft movement to increase wing area and a downward tilting movement to alter the airfoil section to increase lift and drag
How many flap drive screws are there and 90-degree gearboxes?
8 jackscrews 2 per flap
8 90-degree gearbox
Where is the solenoid-operated wing flap selector valve located?
It is located on the utility hydraulic panel, forward of the left wheelwell.
How long does it take the flaps to fully extend?
8 - 15 seconds
Where is the solenoid-operated landing gear selector valve located?
It is located on the utility hydraulic panel, forward of the left wheelwell
Where is the MLG hydraulic motor located?
Installed internally, forward, and above the main landing gear wheelwell
Components of the MLG
Four 90-degree gearboxes direct rotation from the manual drive gearbox to the torque shafts. Each 90 degree gearbox is connected to a ball screw by a vertical torque shaft. Ball screws raise and lower the MLG in vertical tracks. One ball screw is attached to each MLG shock strut in the landing gear wheelwell.
What do friction washers do for the MLG?
Serve as downlocks and prevent the MLG from retracting.
What is the FMC and where is it located?
The dual channel fuel management controller monitors and controls the basic aircraft fuel system. The FMC is located on the cargo compartment aft overhead equipment rack.
APU operating altitude
-1,000 to 20,000 ft
The APU fuel is gravity fed from the #_ tank if fuel quantity is greater than ____ lbs
2 tank
2000 lbs
EXTPWR/APU switch 3 settings and what do they do?
EXTPWR: supplies external ac power to the LH/RH ac bus, ESS ac bus and MAIN ac bus which in turn powers the avionics buses and all four TR
OFF: disconnects APU and EXT PWR from the A/C is the reset position for APU generator
APU: connects the APU generator to the ESS ac bus. If the APU is the only source of power it will power the MAIN and ESS ac buses
