Study Notes
Corrosion in Aircraft
- Corrosion refers to the deterioration of a material, especially a metal, caused by a chemical reaction with its surroundings.
- Primary cause of corrosion: Exposure to moisture, especially salt water and humidity.
- Significant factor: The use of dissimilar metals in aircraft construction can create galvanic corrosion, where one metal corrodes faster in the presence of the other.
- Not a cause of corrosion: Corrosion is not caused by the use of dissimilar metals themselves, but by the interaction of dissimilar metals in the presence of moisture.
- True Statement: Corrosion can occur in a variety of forms, including surface pitting, cracking, and complete disintegration.
Airplane Configuration
- The aircraft has one main door located on the right side of the fuselage.
- This door is positioned above the wing.
- Passengers and crew use this door for entry and exit.
- A smaller door, also on the right side, is used for accessing the baggage compartment.
- This door is situated just behind the wing.
- An emergency exit is built into the pilot's left window, providing an alternative escape route in case of an emergency.
