Aircraft bearings are a very useful type of fastener, allowing for constraint of movement to specific motions, all while reducing friction between the moving parts. This requires that bearings be accurately installed, lest the bearing’s life expectancy be cut short along with other problems. If a bearing is too loose, movement between components is less restricted, leading to problems such as wear, fretting, scoring, fracturing, and more. When a bearing is too tight on the other hand, increased force for mounting may be required, also leading to possible bearing fractures. According to estimates, about 16% of premature bearing failures are caused by poor installation of bearings. So what are some of the methods to correctly install a bearing, and what are things to avoid?
When reviewing a quote or an invoice, it’s understandable to want to scrutinize every item and every price down to the final number. But when revising a quote presented to you for MRO (Maintenance Repair Overhaul) or other types of aircraft maintenance manual, you have to ask “what does this quote include?” If you are getting maintenance done, then you want to make sure that nothing is missed, which is why you ought to start questioning if any item not included with your quote should be.
Running out of fuel while driving a car can be a frustrating experience and mean a wasted afternoon. Running out of fuel while flying an aircraft, however, can verge on disastrous. For the aviation industry, proper fuel quantity indication is incredibly important, given the human lives and millions of dollars of property that can be put at risk if a commercial airliner runs out of fuel mid-flight.
Aircraft seals are essential to prevent fluid buildup and to keep the system clear of air and dirt. Each seal or seal type is unique to each installation. The reasons for this include different pressure rates, the type of fluid used, the type of metal used, and the type of motion the system does.
Just as a car requires a vehicle registration number and plate to be airworthy, an aircraft must feature a data plate. Issued by the aircraft manufacturer, aircraft data plates are not something that you want to replace. They are notoriously hard to come by and are attached to a string of FAA regulations.
