Week 2 Flashcards
What should you use to check tire pressure
Tire pressure gauge
Tread depth gauge is a sleeve top gauge graduated in______ of an inch.
32nds
What is used to measure remaining tread and depth of cuts?
Tread depth gauge
What is formed between the outer ply of cord fabric and the thread or the sidewall rubber
Blisters
Causes tire to wear rapid and unevenly at the outer edges of the tread and develops higher temperatures during use
Under inflation
Reduces tread contact area causing the tire to wear faster in the center
Overinflation
Allows operator to safely remove the valve core from a pressurized tire
Palmer safe-cot valve tool(p/n968RB)
Assembly that is hand portable, pressure regulating device, used for inflating aircraft tires with pressures ranging from 50 to 600 psi
Remote tire inflator assembly (Six months calibration)
Ensure tire is_____ before removal
Deflated
Threaded screws and bolts using a circular ramp to transfer or support a load
Semi-permanent fasteners
Five types of semi permanent fasteners
Structural screws, machine screws, self tapping screws, structural bolts, and aircraft nuts
Made from steel alloy, are heat treated, have a definite grip length and have the same shear and tensile strength as equivalent size structural bolt
To assemble structural parts
Round, countersunk,& brazier
Structural screws
Made from low carbon steel, brass, corrosion resistant steel and aluminum alloys. They consist of heads and threads and usually have no grip length
General purpose use
Round, countersunk, fillister, and socket
Machine screws
Consist of two types, metal and sheet metal. They make their own internal threads as they are being turned into the hole.
For attaching name plates two components, and sheet metal for non-structural applications
Round, countersunk
Self tapping screws
Have definite grip lengths, heads and threads. They are made from the same material as structural screws.
To assemble structural parts.
Clevis, eye, external wrenching, and internal wrenching.
Structural bolts
To provide a means of loading and bolted assembly to a desired level.
Aircraft nuts
Never use in critical applications such control system linkages; they may be used to secure box covers or other non-safety flight items.
Self locking nuts
Require the use of a separate locking device, such as a cotter pin, safety wire or lock washer.
Non-self locking nuts
Used in general applications. Secured tightly by use of lock washer or safety wire.
Plain nut
Used in critical applications, for example, joints and aircraft control systems, installation of pulleys, cranks and linkages. Secured in place by use of a cotter key.
Castellated nuts
Plate nuts and gang channels.
Anchor nuts
Used to secure frequently replaced electronic opponents and are locked in place with safety wire
Wingnut
Quick release fasteners that come in various styles. can be locked or unlocked quickly
Turn lock fasteners
Flush- used to prevent drag on aerodynamically smooth surfaces
Oval or raised- used were dragons not a factor usually on the interior of aircraft
Wing-desiring to be locked or unlocked by hand and used on the interior of aircraft
Head styles
To secure panels or doors on the aircraft require frequent removal
Purpose of Turn-lock fasteners
Types of turn lock fasteners
Camloc, Dzus, airlock, and camloc high stress fastener
Has four parts- stud assembly, grommet, receptacle, and retaining ring.
Camloc
Has three parts- stud, grommet, and stationary spring.
Light duty- Used on box covers, access hole covers and light weight fairings.
Heavy duty- Used on cowlings and heavy fairings, and has same construction features as light duty
Dzus
Has three parts- Stud, crosspin, and receptacle.
Airlock fastener
Has a higher strength, quick release rotating fastener that locks or unlocks by turning the stud a quarter turn.
Camloc high stress fasteners
