Practical training

Practical training is a structured training event which consolidates the knowledge gained during the theoretical phase of type training and as such, may be performed after or integrated within the theory training. However, it must not be performed before theoretical training. Practical training should: Address the different parts of the aircraft which are representative of the structure, the systems/components installed and the cabin. Include the use of technical manuals, maintenance procedures and the operational interfaces with the aircraft (e.g. FMC, electronic flight bag, etc). Include common maintenance and ground handling activities. Cover both type specific and generic safety elements of the aircraft’s maintenance. Develop the student’s competence in performing safe maintenance, prior to the practical assessment. Purpose of Practical training is not to include all the maintenance tasks associated with a particular type, but a representative sample of them that will a...

Fire extinguisher

A portable, hand operated fire extinguisher is mounted on the floor between the pilot and copilot seats for use in the event of a fire. The extinguishing agent is Halon 1211 and may be used on solid combustible, electrical or liquid fires. Servicing of the extinguisher can be handled by most fire equipment dealers. The fire extinguisher is mounted within a quick release, clamp type bracket assembly. 262001 Portable Hand Fire Extinguisher - Inspect  for proper operating pressure, condition,              security of installation, and servicing date.  B 05-12-01 230 262002 Cockpit Mounted Halon Type Fire Extinguisher  - Weigh bottle.

Auto flight

A single axis autopilot with heading hold is on airplanes with IFR. Heading hold is used with directional gyro input and can have VOR, GPS or Localizer input as required. Dual-axis autopilot is available. The dual-axis system gives both vertical speed and altitude hold selection. The autopilot on this aircraft uses a pitch servo, a pitch trim servo and a roll servo. GFC-700 is a dual-axis autopilot with heading, altitude, and vertical speed hold 221003 Autopilot Servo Actuators. Inspect for evidence  of corrosion and or buildup of dirt or other particulate matter which may interfere  with servo operation.  O 05-12-16 Z610

Engine construction

Textron Lycoming IO-360-L2A engine is direct drive , four cylinder , fuel injected, horizontally opposed , and air cooled . The cylinders, numbered from front to rear, are staggered to have individual throws on the crankshaft for each connecting rod. The right front cylinder is number 1 and cylinders on the right side of the engine are identified by odd numbers 1 and 3. The left front cylinder is number 2 and the cylinders on the left side are identified as 2 and 4. Cylinders –  are of air-cooled construction with the two major parts, head and barrel, screwed and shrunk together. Heads are made from an aluminum alloy casting with a fully machined combustion chamber. Rocker shaft bearing supports are cast integral with the head along with housings to form the rocker boxes. Barrels have deep integral cooling fins and the inside of the barrels are ground and honed to a specified finish. Valve Operating Mechanism – C amshaft is located above and parallel to the crankshaft. ...

Dimensions/Area

TTP B1-L1 ATA06 Cessna 172 B2-L1 Airplane Station : The airplane is laid out according to fuselage stations (FS) and wing stations (WS). These stations provide fixed reference points for all components located on or within the airplane.   Fuselage Stations begin at the firewall (FS 0.00) and extend to the tailcone area (FS 230.18).  Wing Stations begin at the root (WS 23.62) and extend to the tip (WS 208.00). Both Fuselage Stations and Wing Stations are measured in inches. For example, FS 185.50 is 185.50 inches aft of the firewall (FS 0.00). Zone : The Model 172 is divided into numbered zones to provide a method for locating components and/or placards throughout the airplane. The zones are identified by a three-digit number as shown in the example below.  First digit in the sequence denotes the major zone (300 series for aft of cabin, 500 series for left wing, etc.).  Second digit in the sequence further ...
