Q1. What you learnt in last 6 months?
A:
Q2. When to uplift engine oil? Why not as soon as engine shut
down or after 2 hours?
A: As per AMM recommendation, oil system should be AMM 12-13-79-
serviced including oil quantity check and filling should be 610-002-A
performed between 5 minutes to 60 minutes post
engine shut down. The reason for not performing oil
servicing before 5 minutes and after 60 minutes are as
follows:
* After engine shut down, minimum of 5 minutes
should be given to let the engine oil system to cool down
and depressurized. If oil cap is opened for the purpose
of oil servicing while the oil tank is still pressurized, hot
engine oil may get sprayed that will cause injury to the
person.
* By 60 minutes post engine shut down, oil gets
settled down and some oil flows into the sump causing
oil quantity displayed through the sight gage to be lower
than the actual oil quantity. Hence trying to service
engine oil after 60 minutes, one may over service the
engine.
Note: If engine oil is over-serviced, it will not cause
engine damage. It will burn and vented overboard
through vent system. However, it will cause incorrect
calculation of oil consumption rate.
Q4. What are the computers related to landing gear and flight
controls?
A: Landing Gear computers:
LGCIU: Landing Gear Control and Interface Unit.
BSCU: Braking/Steering Control Unit.
ABCU: Alternate Braking Control Unit.

Q10. After wheel and brake change, what test will you
perform?
A: After a brake change,
a. Operation of normal braking system
b. Operation of alternate braking system
c. Operational test of Brake Temperature system
d. Operational test of brake fan
are performed.
Q17. What is the purpose of gas path cleaning and which ports
or line are open during gas path cleaning?
A: Gas path cleaning of engine is performed at specified
interval in order to improve the overall efficiency of the
engine in respect of EGT margin and SFC. Over time in
operation, contamination deposited in the compressor
blades and stators alters the normal profile of these
aerofoil. This reduces the efficiency of engine, to
compensate for which either more fuel has to be
consumed increasing the SFC or increasing the EGT
margin and thus affecting lives of hot section
components.
Q19. What is
a. Running torque
b. Breaking torque
c. Dry torque
d. Wet torque
A: Running torque: It is the torque required to keep a load
moving.
Breaking torque: It is the torque required to initially
move the load.
Dry torque: It is the torque applied without application
of lubricant or grease. E.g. torque applied in O2 system.
Wet torque: It is the torque applied with application of
lubricant or grease. E.g. torque applied to axle nut.
Q23. What are the flight control computers? Where are they
located?
A: The flight control computers are:
ELAC: Elevator Aileron Computers. Two in number.
SEC: Spoiler Elevator Computers. Three in number.
FAC: Flight Augmentation Computers. Two in number.
SFCC: Slat Flap Control Computers. Two in number.
FCDC: Flight Control Data Concentrators. Two in
number.
FMGC: Flight Management and Guidance Computer.
Two in number.
Q26. What are the things to be checked while taking seals from
store?
A: While procuring new seal from store, its part number,
shelf life, and condition of packing are to be checked.
Tw = (Te * A)/(A+B)
Q41. What are the things that a Yellow hand pump can
operate?
A: Yellow hand pump is dedicated for cargo door operation
only.
Q61. Fuel leak – Slow seep, seep, heavy seep, running leak.
A: Slow seep is a leak in which fuel wets an area around the FAA AC65-9A
source of leak no more than ¾ of an inch in diameter. (Airframe and
Seep is a leak in which fuel wets an area around the Powerplant
source of leak from ¾ inches to 1½ inches in diameter. Mechanics General
Heavy seep is a fuel leak that wets an area around the Handbook); page
leak source from 1½ inches to 3 inches in diameter. 97
Running leak is the most severe and most dangerous
which may drip from aircraft surface, may run down
vertical surfaces and may even run down finger when
touched the wet area. The aircraft should be
immediately grounded until repair of the source of leak.
Q62. If there is positive and negative error in TPG then what is
your action to measure correct pressure?
A:
Q77. What work you have done with your own hand?
A:
Q78. What are the differences between CFM and IAE engines?
What is the difference between their fan blade
constructions?
A: CFM56-5B and IAE V2500 engines are options for
installation in Airbus A320 family aircraft. There are a
few noted differences between these two types of
engines which are:
1. CFM56 engine uses hollow fan blade while IAE V2500
uses titanium with honeycomb structure in fan blades.
2. CFM56 engines uses separate nozzles for primary
(core engine) airflow exhaust and secondary (fan air)
airflow exhaust. However, IAE V2500 engines has
Common Nozzle Assembly (CAN) which mixes fan air
with core engine air prior to releasing it to atmosphere
through a common exhaust nozzle.
3. CFM56 engines uses pivoting doors type thrust
reverser while IAE V2500 engines use translating sleeve
and cascade type thrust reverser.
Q79. You opened the fuelling panel and you find nothing on
the panel. What will be your action?
A: Upon opening the fuelling panel, if I notice that all
displays are coming blank, I will very first try to reset the
circuit with the help of the micro-switch located on the
right hand side of the compartment.
If it still not coming
Q80. If fuel is not going to the left tank during refuelling, what
will you do?
A: I will try by manual overriding the Cross Feed valve to
open position. For this, I need to release out Cross Feet
P/B in the cockpit overhead FUEL panel (35VU).
Q81. There are three lights for each tank in the fuelling panel.
What are they for? What if they are not illuminating?
A: The three lights are for indicating HI LEVEL of fuel in its
respective tanks.
If the lights are not coming ON, one possible reason may
be that the High Level Protection system is inoperative
for which the fuel system will not be protected against
overfilling and spillage.
Q86. Was any MEL invoked in your flight? If yes, explain about
the MEL?
A: Yes. On one day, an MEL is invoked to carry forward SFCC MEL Issue 01 Rev.
2 Flap Channel under the provision of MEL Ref. 27-51- 09 Ref. 27-51-01A
01A.
To invoke this MEL, a certain conditions are to be
fulfilled which include:
1. SFCC 2 is deactivated.
2. Flaps and Slats operation should be
satisfactory with SFCC 1.
3. WTB Blue solenoid function is satisfactory with
SFCC 1.
4. All ELACs, SECs, FACs, RAs, LGCIUs and ADIRUs
are operative.
5. The minimum idle on ground is found
operative. The same is also carried forward under
provision of MEL 73-20-05.
Q87. What are the values of initial and final torque for Main
Wheel and Nose Wheel? Why Initial torque is more than
Final torque?
A: Torque values for wheels:
MAIN WHEEL: Initial - 220 lbs. ft.
Final - 110 lbs. ft.
There are two igniter plugs in APS3200 series APUs. They AMM
are located at 120O and 270O position while looked from
