What is the purpose of the hydraulic patch test?
|
To check the level of contamination of the A/C hydraulic systems or support equipment hydraulic system.
Ensures a high level of fluid purity. The maximum level of contamination for A/C is class 5 and class 3 for support equipment. The primary method of measurement is electronic particle counter. The alternate method is patch testing. These 2 methods are used at all levels of maintenance. |
|
What is the purpose of a tactical paint scheme?
|
Is applied to an A/C to lessen the probability of visual or photographic detection. It is also used for deception, reduction of detection range and to confuse and mislead observers.
|
|
What is the purpose of publication NAVAIR 01-1A-509 and application to the F/A-18?
|
Provides information on material and procedures for the prevention and repair of corrosion and upkeep of A/C paint scheme. Sups and maint. personnel shall use this manual as a guide for all corrosion control and maint. efforts.
|
|
What is the purpose of publication NAVAIR A1-F18AC-SRM-500 and application to the F/A-18?
|
Provides corrosion control procedures for organizational, intermediate, and depot levels of Maintenance. Should be used with NA 01-1A-509. When tasks are identified as intermediate or depot they will be identified as w/i each specific procedure work package.
|
|
State the 3 modes of wheel brake operation.
|
Normal brake: Used for taxing, supported by A/C hydraulic system.
Emergency brake: When no hydraulic system pressure is available. Emergency Brake Accumulator Parking brake: Used at all times unless A/C is being moved. |
|
Discuss the purpose of composite airframe materials.
|
New materials are used in A/C to limit weight, decrease effects of corrosion attack and to increase strength.
All composites are used for high performance composite structure, both monolithic and sandwich material. |
|
What is Temporary Repair?
|
One, which may allow A/C to be flown until permanent repair can be made.
Normally restores full load carrying capabilities to required structure member. |
|
One-Time Flight?
|
Repair made to restore limited load carrying requirements to allow an A/C to be flown to a repair station for permanent repairs.
Instructions for 1 time flight repair include all information on flight restrictions, which must be observed during ferry flight. |
|
Permanent repair?
|
Repair equals or exceeds strength of original structure or component with no adverse affects on structural integrity, fatigue life, safety, or flying characteristics.
