Flashcards

B-4 Bearing Piece

A component that can be displaced from the operating handle, causing a CBC uncoupling failure. It wears quickly and is dangerous.

B-5 Yoke Pin support plate liner

A piece that wears due to the yoke pin's movement, potentially breaking rivets and impacting uncoupling. Needs replacement after one POH.

B-6 Shank Wear Plate

A component that wears from contact with the CBC Shank, impacting CBC uncoupling and shank damage. Needs 100% replacement.

B-7 Striker Casting Wear Plate

A component subject to wear, affecting CBC uncoupling. Its lifespan is limited to one Period of Overhaul (POH) and needs 100% replacement.
