EASA MODULE 7A Sub Module 7.17 AIRCRAFT HANDLING AND STORAGE AIRCRAFT JACKING: Aircraft may need to be jacked for a variety of purposes. These may include component changes, retraction tests, weighing of the aircraft and aircraft rigging checks. Care needs to be taken when jacking, to avoid damage to aircraft or equipment. Jacking points are provided in the wings and fuselage, at strong points, to enable the whole aircraft to be lifted, and there are, usually, other points, at the nose and main undercarriages, to enable individual wheels to be changed. Some aircraft require a jacking pad to be fitted to each jacking point, while in some, the jacking pads are built into the structure. Special jacking adapters and beams may be available to lift individual axles. In all instances, the Maintenance Manual should be consulted, so that the correct equipment and procedures may be used. Because of the position of the jacking points, the C.G. of some aircr...

Sub Module: 7.18: Aircraft Troubleshooting Techniques

March 04, 2021

EASA / SARI MODULE 7 SUB MODULE 7.18 AIRCRAFT DISASSEMBLY, INSPECTION, REAPIR AND ASSEMBLY TECHNIQUES FAULT DIAGNOSIS - TROUBLE SHOOTING Aircraft maintenance schedules have been developed so that the amount of time an aircraft spends on the ground for routine inspection and servicing is kept to a minimum. However, aircraft might also “grounded” by equipment defects; it is most important that these are rectified efficiently. One of the factors governing maintenance efficiency is the initial fault diagnosis, generally known as Trouble Shooting. Unfortunately defect rectification is sometimes attempted without prior fault diagnosis, or after only a limited attempt to narrow the field of possible causes. Such rectification usually deteriorates into a succession of component changes aimed a eliminating the fault by trial and error. This type of approach causes unnecessary work, waste of aircraft spares and excessive delays before the aircraft can be returned to service. All of this can...
