Last week, four of our engineers conducted aircraft surveys at customer facilities across the USA and Canada. Those surveys were conducted in support of special mission and corporate aircraft projects. Surveys are a valuable tool for validating the accuracy of aircraft engineering deliverables. By conducting surveys, we gather data that can assist in various aspects of the installation process, such as identifying potential issues with monuments in advance or determining the optimal harness routing. These surveys serve as an important step in ensuring that the engineering deliverables are aligned with the actual conditions and requirements of the aircraft. They also help identify deviations or discrepancies that need to be addressed before moving forward with the installation process. Here in the photo is Nik Paulic P.

The document outlines a comprehensive qualification specification for various components related to aircraft tires, tubes, and valves. It begins with definitions and abbreviations for clarity, followed by detailed data sections covering different types and sizes of tires, including Type I, Type III, and Type VII, as well as metric and radial variations. Tube and valve technical data are provided separately, with a focus on various valve types and their specifications. Additionally, aircraft tires' serial number codes and application charts for different types of aircraft, including general aviation, commercial, and military, are included for reference. The document delves into engineering and technical information crucial for tire selection, inflation, measurement procedures, operating temperatures, load ratings for helicopters, radius of gyration, tire dimensions, deflection, growth, minimum clearance allowance, and operating characteristics. Moreover, it discusses the feasibility of using tubeless tires in place of tube-type tires, offering a comprehensive guide for those involved in aircraft maintenance and operations.

The work in airworthiness engineering can be called "Aircraft risk engineering," in which engineers in aircraft design shall always identify hazards and minimize their damage to an aircraft and cause injury to people and property on the ground. Aircraft Risk engineers examine aircraft and equipment design, and processes to make aircraft to help minimize potential hazards.

Critical Design Configuration Control Limitation (CDCCL). Critical Design Configuration Control Limitation (CDCCL), often abbreviated as CDCCL, is a crucial term in the field of aviation. It refers to a set of limitations and requirements imposed on aircraft designs, subsystems, components, or software that are critical to the safe operation of an aircraft. The CDCCL ensures that these critical elements are controlled and maintained within specified parameters to prevent any potential risks or failures that could compromise the safety of flight. In this article, we will delve deeper into the concept of CDCCL, its significance in aviation, and its role in ensuring the airworthiness and reliability of aircraft systems. Critical Design Configuration Control Limitation plays a vital role in aviation safety and the certification process for aircraft. It is essential for maintaining the integrity of an aircraft’s design and ensuring that any modifications or changes do not compromise its safety or performance. Here are some key reasons why CDCCL is of utmost importance. The primary purpose of CDCCL is to minimize any risks associated with critical design elements in an aircraft. By imposing strict control measures and limitations on these elements, the aviation industry can ensure that an aircraft’s structural, mechanical, and electrical systems are designed and maintained in accordance with approved standards and regulations. This helps to prevent disasters and accidents caused by fundamental design flaws or failures. For example, imagine the critical importance of an aircraft’s wing design. If the design of the wing were not subject to CDCCL, there would be a risk of various issues such as structural instability, inadequate lift, or even the potential for catastrophic failure during flight. By implementing CDCCL, aviation authorities can ensure that the wing design, including its shape, size, materials, and attachment methods, meets rigorous safety standards and is continuously maintained within acceptable limits.Furthermore, CDCCL also takes into account the impact of changes or modifications to existing designs. Aircraft manufacturers and operators must follow specific procedures and obtain necessary approvals before incorporating any modifications or alterations that may affect critical design elements. This helps to maintain the consistency and integrity of the original design, without compromising safety or performance. #aviationindustry #aviation #ame #technician #mro #hanger #dgca #gcca #faa #easa #airline #safety

What is your favourite aircraft system to service? For many aircraft maintenance technicians, landing gears are particularly interesting due to their complex engineering. The maintenance of landing gears involves a variety of tasks, including inspecting hydraulic systems, checking for wear and tear on the tires and brakes, and ensuring the proper operation of retracting and extending mechanisms. The intricate design of landing gears requires a deep understanding of both mechanical and hydraulic systems. #brokairaviationgroup #aviation #landinggear #aircraftmaintenancetechnician #aircraftmaintenanceengineer

Aviation technical terminology check. Blowout door panels. If there is no evidence of a blow out, there is NO Blow out. The aviation system measurements of the total system safety, reliability, durability and probability of failure are critical subjects. Aircraft part that departing from aircraft structure or Part Detached from an Aircraft system or subsystem (PDA), or an Objects Falling off Aircraft (OFA), or component separating and falling off aircraft (TFOA). There are several analogous variations of the Departure of a Part from major system to minor fastener mount screw rivets up to any major sub-system assemblies or larger part of covers and door panel. Those are system critical functioning components. PDA is categorized as a system safety concern because they are systematic critical functioning elements for continue airworthiness safe flights. If NO blow out. It is not a blow out. It is a departure.
