Study Notes
Aircraft Fueling and Safety Equipment
- Aircraft personnel should use insulating gloves during fuel draining or fueling process to prevent electric shock
- Insulating gloves are necessary for personnel to use when working with electrical systems or in areas where electrical shock hazards exist
- Forklift operators should use safety equipment such as seatbelts and hard hats to prevent injuries
Foreign Object Damage (FOD)
- FOD refers to any object that is not part of the aircraft or its components, and can cause damage or malfunction
- FOD can be found in aircraft maintenance areas, hangars, and on the airfield
- Examples of FOD include tools, nuts, bolts, rivets, and other small objects
- Vigilance about FOD is crucial in aircraft maintenance and operation to prevent damage to critical aircraft components and ensure safety
