J-2-2-95-1 F35A Flashcards
(66 cards)
What is the consequence of rotating a gun in the firing direction?
A damaged gun could fire if rotated in firing direction
This is counterclockwise when viewed from the rear looking forward.
What type of ammunition is used in the F-35A?
25-millimeter ammunition, which is percussion-fired
Exercise care when handling this type of ammunition.
What happens if BATT-OFF is selected during a gear-up landing?
It will not secure the 270-volt battery
Shock hazard may still exist for some 270-volt systems.
Why should personnel avoid exposure in front of battery vent ports?
A violent reaction of the 270-volt lithium battery can cause hot gases and flames to vent
This may potentially injure personnel.
What precaution should be taken when accessing countermeasures dispensers?
Avoid working directly in front of dispensers
The dispensers cannot be mechanically safed.
What should be cleared before opening or closing aircraft doors?
Personnel and equipment
Moving doors can pinch or crush.
When should personnel be cleared from under the aircraft?
Until landing gear safety pins are installed
This prevents the gear from collapsing.
What protective gear is required during post-crash handling of the EOTS?
Full respirators and coveralls
This is to prevent ingestion and skin contact with beryllium dust.
What materials make up the exterior of the F-35A?
Graphite, Kevlar, fiberglass, and composite materials
Composite materials consist of epoxy or bismaleimide resins encapsulating the fiber.
What is the maximum takeoff weight of the F-35A?
27,214.64 kilograms (59,998.00 pounds)
This is its operational capacity.
What type of aircraft is the F-35A?
Conventional Takeoff and Landing (CTOL), single-seat, single-engine, stealth, strike-fighter aircraft
Designation: F-35A.
How is the F-35A canopy operated?
Using internal and external canopy open/close switches
The canopy can also be opened manually.
What is the Canopy Transparency Removal System (TRS)?
A system that provides a rapid means to remove the canopy transparency under emergency conditions
It includes a Flexible Linear Shaped Charge and Rapid Deflagration Cords.
What is the ejection seat system used in the F-35A?
MKUS16E (Martin Baker) ejection seat system
It is fully automatic and electronically controlled.
What does the Backup Oxygen Supply (BOS) do?
Operates pneumatically and connects to the Service Connector Package (SCP)
It contains no energetic components.
What is the purpose of the Seat Survival Kit (SSK)?
To be deployed during seat/man separation
It is locked until released by the Harness Release.
What should not be done while the engines are running?
Do not attempt to install the nose landing gear safety pin
This area is in the engine intake danger zone.
What is the function of the Maintenance Interface Panel (MIP)?
Allows turning off the IPP and battery without cockpit access
It is located on the right side of the aircraft, aft of the engine inlet.
What is the consequence of not resetting the forward dampener before disengaging aft detent?
It will cause damage to the missile launcher mechanical linkage
This is crucial for proper operation.
What is the voltage of the main battery used in the aircraft’s electrical system?
270-volt Direct Current (VDC)
What type of battery is used for secondary control voltage during ground operations?
28-VDC battery
Where is the 270-VDC battery located in the aircraft?
Beneath the aircraft along the keel
Where is the 28-VDC battery located?
In the nose landing gear wheel-well on the right side
What type of batteries are the 270-VDC and 28-VDC batteries?
Lithium-Ion batteries
