1. Define aircraft Jacking?
Jacking is done with hydraulic or screw jack to lift the aircraft
from the ground. It enables to raise the level of the aircraft
from ground for aircraft rigging.
Types of jacking are
a.Screw jack
b.bottle jack
c.Tripod jack
2. What is aircraft rigging?
Rigging is to check the alignment of the following
a. fixed surfaces wings, vertical and horizontal stabilizers
b. movable control surfaces (aileron, elevator and rudder)
Purpose:
The purpose of aircraft rigging is to improve flight
characteristics of aircraft.
This avoids tendency of aircraft to roll, yaw and pitch in
straight level flight.
3. What are the advantages of swaging over splicing?
1. It provides smooth surface finish,
2. High strength,
3. High reliability,
4. It requires less time for swaging,
5. It uses simple tool and low costing,
6. Semi-skilled worker is adequate.
4. What are the types of aircraft bolts?
1.General Purpose
2. Close tolerance bolts
3. Internal tolerance
4. Special purpose bolts
a. Clevis,
b.eyebolt
c.jo-bolt
d. lock bolt

Define mooring?
It is the process of aircraft is being tied down after each
flight to the ground. It is safety for the aircraft to prevent
damage from sudden storms. It is tied down using the
following
1. Mettalic chain
2. Manila rope to the hook/rings in the concrete ground.
Manila rope should be kept slightly loose so that in the rain it
can tighten up without breaking

Definetowing? It is the process of moving aircraft from
one place to other place using towing vehicle and towing bar.

Define swaging?
Swaging is a forging process in which the dimensions of an
item are changed using a die into which the item is forced.
Swaging is usually a cold working process. The advantages is
swaging
1 . it is a simple process,
2. zero material waste,
3. smooth surface finish
4. provides better strength than splicing
5.it improves grain structure and tensile strength
6.It uses simple low cost tooling
