Project 3 Flashcards
What are we inspecting the engine mount rubber components for?
- Severe Cracking
- Signs of high temperature or burning
- Separation of rubber for metal surfaces
- Excessive “sag” or permanent deflection resulting in internal bottoming with spacer, engine and cowl
- Interference, unusual vibration
What would you want to inspect the attaching hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) for?
Inspect BOLTS for:
- Proper type/size
- Damage
- Corrosion
- Out of round (bent)
Inspect NUTS for:
- Proper type (NOT Nylon-insert)
- Corrosion
- deformed (not flat)
Can we re use lock nuts?
NO fucking way
What would you want to inspect heat shields (applicable for?)
proper placement/damage etc
In which position will you feel springback/bounce on a properly rigged engine control cable?
Fully forward position
Why we want to Record defects and pre-inspection Engine run?
To protect the AMO from possible responsibility for issues that were pre-existing
Why do we record all engine parameters? (oil pressure, oil temp, manifold pressure, CHT, EGT, idle rpm)
To detect any serious engine issues that that may require engine/cylinder removal
Why do we complete a LIVE MAG CHECK and Why do SINGLE MAG CHECK?
A live mag check is the only TRUE way to detect if the engine that will be worked on has a live mag. If it did have a LIVE mag, we would need to determine what the cause is before proceeding.
If we proceed(with a live mag) we would want to identify the engine as having a Live mag with some form of signage!
Why do an Idle speed and mixture check?
Idle speed and mixture check confirms that the throttle and the mixture controls are properly rigged before we disconnect the controls.
If misrigged, advise the owner/Operator that it’s MISRIGGED
Why would we want a post inspection run up?
After the engine has been removed and reinstalled, we
