WIRING DIAGRAM MANUAL (WDM)

 WIRING DIAGRAM MANUAL (WDM)

Wiring Diagram Manual (WDM)

The WDM is subdivided into three manuals:

- Aircraft Schematic manual

- Aircraft Wiring manual

- Aircraft Wiring List

The ASM gives you blocks diagrams, simplified schematics, and schematics. Consequently, the AWM is a help to identify precisely a failed component (a wire for example) when you make a search through TSM and ASM. ASM is linked to AWM.

The AWL Detailed description of Electrical and electronics wiring connections including Part Numbers by means of multiple Lists such as Equipment List, Hook Up list , Aircraft Wiring List etc.

 


ASM

The Aim of the ASM is to obtain a full understanding of electrical and avionics equipment, their operation, troubleshooting and maintenance. The Aircraft Schematic Manual (ASM) contains diagrams intended for troubleshooting aircraft systems. It also facilitates the understanding of
the systems and can be used for staff training maintenance. The manual is divided as follow. Front matter pages, service bulletin list, introduction, alphabetical index (sorted by title), chapter 20 (electrical standard practices which are now referred to the ESPM) and the other
chapters (21 thru 80).

AWM

The Aircraft Wiring Manual (AWM) details all the aircraft wiring connections. The diagrams are intended for trouble shooting the aircraft wiring.
The manual is divided as follow; Front matter pages, service bulletin list, introduction, alphabetical index (sorted by title), chapter 20 (electrical standard practices which are now referred to the ESPM) and the other chapters (21 thru 80).The AWM contains diagrams, zoning , routing and panel information.

AWL

The Aircraft Wiring List (AWL) gives a detailed description of electrical or electronic wiring connections by means of lists. This manual is divided as follow: Front matter pages, SB list, introduction, alphabetical index (sorted by title), chapter 20 (electrical standard practices which are now referred to the ESPM) and the various lists. 

 Now lets attempt this short quiz for assessment.

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

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

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
