Metal structural repairs are necessary for the safe operation of an aircraft when damage or wear occurs. Failing to conduct these critical metalworking tasks may pose safety risks by compromising vital parts, so they must be performed according to the best available techniques to ensure plane integrity.
If you spend enough time in or around the world of aviation, you will eventually hear the term TSO used. In an industry with so many highly-specialized parts and practices, the many acronyms and abbreviations can become hard to remember. This blog will cover the TSO in general, as well as the specific TSO-C173.
Airplane lighting frameworks provide illumination to both outside and inside of an aircraft. Lights on the outside give light during such activities as arriving around evening time, examination of icing conditions, and security from midair impact. Interior lighting provides illumination to instruments, cockpits, lodges, and different areas involved by crewmembers and travelers. Certain unique lighting, for example, markers and cautioning lights, provide the aircraft status of gear. For more information on the aircraft lighting system, read here.
The Integrated Drive Generator system, or IDG, is a key power system found on aircraft that controls all of the engine hydraulic systems. An IDG consists of a Constant Speed Drive (CSD) and AC generator mounted side by side in a single housing assembly. The CSD uses controlled differential action to maintain the constant output speed necessary to power the generator. Because the IDG has such an important role in powering key components of the aircraft, its reliability is paramount. This blog will explain Integrated Drive Generator systems, how they work, and how to service them properly.
When designing, manufacturing, and procuring commercial aviation parts, it is helpful to have a referencing standard and cataloguing system to help establish order and ease of learning. The ATA 100 is a numbering system that has established itself as such a commercial aircraft documentation standard, allowing for pilots, maintenance technicians, and engineers to quickly and easily understand various aircraft systems and components.
A main bonding jumper is a conductor that acts as the link between the equipment grounding conductor and the grounded service conductor. The purpose of the main bonding jumper is to fasten the EGC (equipment grounding conductors) to the neutral conductor of the electrical service. In other words, it carries the ground-fault current from the service enclosure as well as from the equipment grounding system that is returning to the source. You can read more about the main-bonding jumper and its uses below.
