Oscilloscopes:


The oscilloscope, or scope for short, is a device for drawing calibrated graphs of voltage vs time very quickly and conveniently. Such an instrument is obviously useful for the design and repair of circuits in which voltages and currents are changing with time. There are also many devices, called transducers, which convert some non-electrical quantity such as pressure, sound, light intensity, or position to a voltage. By using a transducer the scope can make a plot of the changes in almost any measurable quantity. This capability is widely used in science and technology.
 
The heart of the oscilloscope is a cathode ray tube or CRT. Looking at the face of the instrument, you are viewing the screen that the electron beam strikes. Electronic circuits in the scope apply voltages to one set of deflection plates to sweep the beam across the screen from left to right at a constant rate, thereby providing the time axis. Other circuits amplify or attenuate the input signal as needed, and apply voltages to the other set of deflection plates to move the beam vertically, providing the voltage axis. Controls are provided to select the time and voltage scales needed for any given situation.

Let's take this quiz and check how much do we know about oscilloscopes.

EWIS BACKGROUND AND TARGET GROUPS

Image
EWIS TRAINING BACKGROUND Over the years there have been a number of in-flight smoke and fire events where contamination sustained and caused the fire to spread. Regulators and Accident Investigators have conducted aircraft inspections and found wiring contaminated with items such as dust, dirt, metal shavings, lavatory waste water, coffee, soft drinks, and napkins. In some cases, dust has been found completely covering wire bundles and the surrounding area. Research has also demonstrated that wiring can be harmed by collateral damage when maintenance is being performed on other aircraft systems. For example, a person performing an inspection of an electrical power centre or avionics compartment may inadvertently cause damage to wiring in an adjacent area. Aviation Accident Investigators have specifically cited the need for improved training of personnel to ensure adequate recognition and repair of potentially unsafe wiring conditions. To fully realise the objectives EWIS, operators, ho

Sub Module 7.18: Aircraft Non Destructive Testing (NDT) Techniques

Image
EASA PART 66 / SARI MODULE 7 NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT): Nearly all inspection operations on aircraft structures are carried out visually at intervals specified in the Approved Maintenance Schedule. Sometimes visual examination is not practicable, or there may be some uncertainty about the serviceability of a part and one of the methods of nondestructive examination may be used to determine its condition. Non-destructive tests seek to detect defects such as cracks or corrosion either at the surface of below it and a number of methods are presently in use. In each case the part being tested is not harmed in any way.  The selection of the method to be used will depend on the design of the structure, its accessibility and the nature of the suspected defect. 1. VISUAL INSPECTION Visual inspection is the oldest of the non-destructive methods of testing. It is a quick and economical method of detecting various types of cracks before they progress sufficiently to cause failure. Its reliabi

Approved Maintenance Organization | ANO145

 Essays: Question 1: You are the Quality Manager of an ANO-145 organization that carries out Line Maintenance of Boeing B777 Aircrafts. What requirements will you check before issuing the Certification Authorization to the Aircraft Licensed Mechanic in Category B1.1.  Question 2: An ANO-145 organization has a maintenance facility located outside Pakistan. What are the conditions under which the organization can use a certifying staff qualified in accordance with the national aviation regulations of the State in which the organisation facility is registered. Question 3: An aircraft is grounded at a location other than the main base where no appropriate certifying staff is available, how will the aircraft be released for service in this case.  Also write additional requirements for the maintenance organization if any. Question 4:  As per ANO-145 , what are different categories under which the aircrafts components must be segregated? Also explain how the unsalvageable items can be permitt
