    Study Notes

    Noise

    • The study of noise includes the study of various basic behavioral processes.

    Human Factors in Aviation Maintenance

    • The study of how people learn is called educational psychology.
    • The study of the measurement of human physical attributes is called anthropometrics.
    • Fear of enclosed spaces is called claustrophobia.
    • Fear of heights is called acrophobia.
    • Human factors are conditions that affect a human in the aviation maintenance work environment.
    • Fatigue is weariness from labor or exertion, including temporary loss of power and ability to respond.
    • Complacency is a human factor in aviation maintenance that typically develops over time.
    • Lack of knowledge is a human factor in aviation maintenance that can be a result of lack of experience or training.
    • Murphy's Law states that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong.

    Aviation Safety

    • Engineering-related incidents are often caused by installing worn or old components, installing components incorrectly, or installing dirty connectors.
    • White finger is a disorder of the finger that may occur through continuous use of pneumatic tools because of reduced blood flow.

    Mechanic Privileges and Limitations

    • A mechanic who does not read, write, speak, and understand the English language may be eligible to apply for a mechanic certificate.
    • A repair, as performed on an airframe, includes upkeep and preservation, restoration to a condition for safe operation, and simple or minor preservation operations.
    • The 100-hour inspection required by Federal Aviation Regulations for certain aircraft being operated for hire may be performed by appropriately rated mechanics only if they have an inspection authorization.
    • FAA certificated mechanics may approve for return to service a major repair for which they are rated.
    • FAA certificated mechanics may supervise and approve a 100-hour inspection.
    • The maximum penalty for falsification, alteration, or fraudulent reproduction of certificates, logbooks, reports and records is imprisonment for one year and a $5,000.00 fine.
    • The maximum duration of a temporary airman certificate is 90 days.
    • The part of the Federal Aviation Regulations that prescribes the requirements for issuing mechanic certificates and associated ratings and the general operating rules for the holders of these certificates and ratings is 14 CFR Part 65.
    • A quality system is assured through an internal reporting and auditing system.
    • The positive aspects of human factor issues are referred to as the "magnificent seven."

    Human Failure

    • Two types of human failure can occur: active and latent.
    • Three types of human error are omission, commission, and extraneous.
    • The primary cause of accidents is human error, such as fatigue, distraction, complacency, and lack of knowledge.
