Q

What could a file mark, corrosion, or scratches in metal cause?

A
  • Stress raiser - increase metal fatigue
  • Lead to structural Failure and Deterioration
    Metal fatigue is the loss of original strength and reliability of a metal after a period of service. This may be expressed as the failure of a metal after repeated applications of a cycle of stress

Q

How does an aircraft’s age affect maintenance?

A

Additional inspections to managed the structural fatigue of the aircraft:
- Increased maintenance requirements
- Generally unscheduled servicing is likely to occur more
As the age of the aircraft increases, the maintenance increases to match

31
31. What servicing maintains an aircraft while it is in preservation?
Storage servicing
32
What is a safety precaution for a pressure system?
- Release system pressure before performing any maintenance on pressurised systems - Follow manufacturer’s maintenance instructions - Ensure that correct PPE is worn
33
Which safety precautions apply for a hydraulic system?
- Ensure that correct PPE is worn (found on SDS) - Depressurise - Do not handle hydraulic fluid if you have open cuts etc - DO NOT search for leaks with a bare hand - Always read the relevant: Caution, warning, safety notes - Manufacturers manual
34

What are 3 hazards resulting from poor housekeeping?
The basic principles for good housekeeping are: - Proper equipment and workplace layout - Correct materials handling and storage -Waste disposal - Cleanliness Hazards include: - Fire - Accidents - Waste
37
What is the purpose of foreign object control (FOC)?
Definitions: - FOC - defined as foreign object control - FOD - defined as foreign object damage Purpose of FOC is as follow: - The primary objective of foreign object control is to prevent the ingress of foreign objects into aircraft and aeronautical products
38
What are some hazards of confined space entry?
- Lack of oxygen / ventilation - Exposure to toxic chemicals, gas, fumes, vapours - Restricted access - Extreme temperatures - Manual handling hazard - Fire / explosions - Excessive noise - Engulfment by solids, liquids and gases
