The simplest machine. There are three basic parts in all levers: the fulcrum “F,” a force or effort “E,” and a resistance “R.”
Industry:Aviation
A component in an electronic weighing system that is placed between the jack and the jack pad on the aircraft. The load cell contains strain gauges whose resistance changes with the weight on the cell.
Industry:Aviation
The magnetic field is produced in a direction parallel to the long axis of the part. This is accomplished by placing the part in a solenoid excited by electric current.
Industry:Aviation
The tendency for an aircraft nose to pitch up or pitch down, rotating around the lateral axis (wingtip to wingtip).
Industry:Aviation
A method of detecting invisible cracks and other defects in ferromagnetic materials such as iron and steel. The inspection process consists of magnetizing the part and then applying ferromagnetic particles to the surface area to be inspected.
Industry:Aviation
This includes inspection, overhaul, repair, preservation, and the replacement of parts, but excludes preventive maintenance.
Industry:Aviation
An alteration not listed in the aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller specifications: (1) that might appreciably affect weight, balance, structural strength, performance, powerplant operation, flight characteristics, or other qualities affecting airworthiness; or (2) that is not done according to accepted practices or cannot be done by elementary operations.
Industry:Aviation
A repair that (1) if improperly done, might appreciably affect weight, balance, structural strength, performance, powerplant operation, flight characteristics, or other qualities affecting airworthiness, or (2) is not done according to accepted practices, or cannot be done by elementary operations.
Industry:Aviation
A report (FAA Form 8010-4) providing the FAA and industry with a very essential service record of mechanical difficulties encountered in aircraft operations. Such reports contribute to the correction of conditions or situations which otherwise will continue to prove costly and/or adversely affect the airworthiness of aircraft.
Industry:Aviation
A manual provided by an aircraft manufacturer that outlines the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed for each person performing maintenance, alteration, or preventive maintenance on an aircraft, engine, propeller, or appliance.
