2. SAFETY FIRST KNOW YOUR EXIT POINTS
If the fire alarm sounds don’t
panic leave the building at the
nearest exit and form up
outside at the designated point.
Leave all your stuff behind,
coursework can be replaced
you cannot (Besides telling
parents that your toast is really
hard)
Keep a look out for your mates,
teamwork is essential if you
don’t push and shove you’ll be
out safe and sound
3. UNIFORM
• Uniform must be worn at all times in all areas.
• Skirts should be the correct length
• No wearing of coats over uniforms.
• No hats allowed i:e baseball caps or bandanas.
• No jumpers or cardigans with large logos.
4. KNOW, DO, SHOW, IMPROVE
• Know – About engine stripping and rebuilding
• Do – ensure you understand SSOW when lifting
• Show – Understanding when I ask questions
• Improve – Take this knowledge into your new workplace and learn more
and explain to me the basics of ECU dressing
5. TAKE IT OFF PUT IT ON WHAT’S THE
PROBLEM WITH REFITTING OLD SEALS?
• Question:- a small encapsulated seal costs £15 and still
looks brand new when you remove it from the engine
component, why bother replacing it?
6. TAKE IT OFF PUT IT ON WHAT’S THE
PROBLEM WITH REFITTING OLD SEALS?
• It’s all about life. But what does life really mean not just with 0 rings
but all components.
7. TAKE IT OFF PUT IT ON WHAT’S THE
PROBLEM WITH REFITTING OLD SEALS?
• Many years of testing individual components (and lots of paperwork)
has determined the optimum life for each component on an aircraft.
• Failure rates are well known and literally everything has an in use or
service life. Don’t fit anything without checking.
• Some even have a shelf life! What does that mean?
8. ALIGNMENT OF COMPONENTS
• Align - connect tightly move on.
• Get the job done fast.
• Look good doing the repair in double quick time
• What’s wrong with all these statements
9. ALIGNMENT OF COMPONENTS
• Never tighten up a nut or bolt fully until they are all in place and
lightly secured all round.
• Anyone know the reason?
10. ALIGNMENT OF
COMPONENTS
• Big or small don’t tighten them
all, until all connections have
been loosely attached, then do
them up as required to avoid
distortions.
• Any ideas how to tighten
objects with or without an
Aircraft maintenance manual?
11. ALIGNMENT OF COMPONENTS
• Getting the job done fast will definitely get you noticed but in the
wrong way.
• When working on aircraft slow and steady is the way forward, as a
part of human factors you’ll learn the art of being fastidious is
greatly rewarded
12. LIFTING TACKLE
• Imagine the scenario, you have to fit a ecu gearbox that weighs 2 ton,
• Name me three pieces of equipment that you need to take the gearbox from the
floor to over the wing and onto the ecu,
• How many people will you need
• What do you stand on
• What PPE will you need do you need PPE?
13. LIFTING WEIRD SHAPES
AND WEIGHTS
• Imagine these shapes to
be part of the ecu
• What are they all trying to
achieve
• How would you sling the
item top right if it was
being fitted to the middle
of the left hand side of
the ecu, all whilst the ecu
is mounted on the left
hand side of the aircraft.
14. SLINGING TO FIT, MIND YOUR FEET!
WHOOPS SORRY…..
• Imagine this, trying to fit a beachball
half filled with concrete onto the side
of an ecu .
• The Beachball is almost impossible to
sling using conventional means so
take a few minutes and think about
unbalanced shapes and what you
would need to use to fit them to a
difficult location.
15. SPECIALIST SLINGS
• Instead of normal 3 or 4 corner
slings certain pieces of equipment
require purpose built slings that fit
lifting lugs on the component.
• These are designed to aid not only
the lifting of a weighty object but
it’s final positioning on the ECU
itself.
16. KNOW, DO, SHOW, IMPROVE
• Know – About engine stripping and rebuilding
• Do – ensure you understand SSOW when lifting
• Show – Understanding of aircraft dressing and lifting gear
• Improve – Take this knowledge into your new workplace and learn more,
now my turn to ask you questions about ecu dressing
