Study Notes
Airplane Parts
- Fuselage: The main body of the aircraft, enclosing the cockpit, passenger cabin, and cargo hold.
- Wings: Provide lift and control during flight. Key components include the ailerons (for roll), elevators (for pitch), and rudder (for yaw).
- Empennage: The tail assembly, crucial for stability and control. This includes the horizontal stabilizer, elevators, and vertical stabilizer, rudder.
- Landing Gear: Supports the aircraft on the ground. Includes main landing gear, nose gear, and sometimes tail gear.
- Propellers/Turbine: Generate thrust for forward movement.
- Cockpit: The control center of the aircraft, housing instruments and controls for the pilot(s).
- Engine(s): Power source of the aircraft, either piston or turbine.
Aircraft Movements
- Takeoff: The process of the aircraft leaving the ground. Crucial factors include speed, angle, and runway conditions.
- Landing: The process of the aircraft touching down and stopping. Key aspects include speed, descent angle, and the use of flaps for reducing speed.
- Climbing: Gaining altitude after takeoff.
- Descending: Losing altitude before landing.
- Turning: Changing the aircraft's direction, controlled by ailerons and rudder.
- Cruising: Maintaining a constant altitude and speed during a flight.
TCP Responsibilities (with Wh-Questions)
- What are the responsibilities of a TCP (Technician)? Maintaining and repairing aircraft systems, performing pre-flight checks, and troubleshooting issues.
- What safety procedures must a TCP follow? Adhering to all safety regulations and procedures including use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
- Where does a TCP typically work? Both on ground and in aircraft maintenance areas.
- What kind of tools and equipment does a TCP use? Specialized tools for maintenance and repair, varying according to the aircraft type.
- When are pre-flight checks conducted? Before each flight.
- Why is maintaining proper documentation critical for a TCP? To record maintenance procedures, ensuring accountability and safety standards are met.
Emergency Equipment
- Emergency Exits: Located in the cabin, allowing rapid evacuation.
- Life Jackets: Inflatable safety devices for water landings.
- Oxygen Masks: Provide supplemental oxygen in case of cabin depressurization.
- First Aid Kit: Contains necessary medical supplies for minor injuries.
- Fire Extinguishers: Used for putting out fires.
- Emergency Communication System: Use to call for assistance.
- Passive Safety Features: Designed to maximize occupant safety during accidents – including seatbelts, impact-resistant materials, and other structural considerations.
- Location of Equipment: Pilots and crew need to know the exact location for every piece of emergency equipment in the aircraft.
Additional Notes
- Regulations: TCPs must follow strict regulations and procedures dictated by aviation authorities.
- Aircraft Types: Maintenance procedures and responsibilities vary depending on the specific aircraft type.
- Documentation: Detailed records of maintenance tasks are critical.
- Maintenance Schedules: Regular maintenance checks are crucial for aircraft safety.
- Troubleshooting: The ability to diagnose and repair issues quickly and effectively is essential.
