International De/Anti-Icing Chapter International De/Anti-icing Chapter 1 FOREWORD The International De/Anti-icing Chapter is only a portion of the FAA approved de/anti-icing program and does not cover detailed flight crew or dispatcher procedures. This chapter covers international de/anti-icing differences associated with local procedures accomplished by third party deicing providers. Third party providers may use all procedures from the main approved de/anti-icing manual or substitute differences contained in the International De/Anti-icing Chapter. This chapter is divided into four sections: Procedures Section The Procedures Section contains information on de/anti-icing fluid handling and storage, de/anti-icing operations, de/anti-icing equipment, de/anti-icing coordination and no spray diagrams. Training Section The Training Section contains information on de/anti-icing training, training fundamentals and an example training plan. Quality Control Section The Quality Control Section contains information on de/anti-icing quality control and De/Anti-icing Vendor Audit checklists. Reference Section The Reference Section contains information on aerodynamics, weather, health and safety, de/anti-icing fluids, abbreviations and refences.

  • Wing Root & Landing Gear Door Seal Replacement
    Wing Root & Landing Gear Door Seal Replacement One of the oldest original components remaining on my Baron (and likely other members planes) was surely the stiff and ragged wing root seal. In researching this component I learned that the wing root and tail seals were installed on the wings and tails before the marriage to the airframe. What lies below the top skin of the wing and tail is a length of rubber “finger” (Figure 1) as an integral part of the seal. Figure 1 This “finger” holds the seal in place and was likely glued at the factory, grabbing the backside of the wing and tail skin. With time and age these original rubber seals have taken quite a beating. With an extended winter annual downtime this year I chose to tackle this really tedious project while waiting for other components that were out for overhaul. A word of caution, this is as tedious as it gets if you choose to dig out the finger from below the top surface skins using the very narrow gap between the skin and the fuselage. Here is a pirep from a Bonanza A36 owner on how he tackled his seal replacement: “I cut the majority of the old seal off using razor blade, leaving a small lip sticking above the wing. I then used a small pick bent at a 90 degree angle, with about a 3/8" 'hook' on the end. Using the hook, I stuck it under the wing skin, between the skin and the old rubber wing seal lip under the skin, and forced it along the chord of the wing.

  • A Hail Size Distribution Impact Transducer
    A Hail Size Distribution Impact Transducer John E. Lanea, Robert C. Youngquistb, William D. Haskella, and Robert B. Coxa aASRC Aerospace Corporation, P.O. Box 21087, Kennedy Space Center, FL 32815 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] bNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899 [email protected] Abstract: An active impact transducer has been designed and tested for the purpose of monitor- ing hail fall in the vicinity of the Space Shuttle launch pads. An important outcome of this design is the opportunity to utilize frequency analysis to discriminate between the audio signal generat- ed from raindrop impacts and that of hailstone impacts. The sound of hail impacting a metal plate is subtly but distinctly different than the sound of rain impacts. This useful characteristic permits application of signal processing algorithms that are inherently more robust than tech- niques relying on amplitude processing alone in the implementation of a hail disdrometer. 1 1. Introduction Impact disdrometers have long been a useful meteorological tool to measure and quantify rainfall drop size distributions, where a drop momentum is converted into a single electrical im- pulse.1,2 The electrical impulse amplitude is converted to an estimate of drop diameter by means of an empirical calibration formula. The calibration may be a one-time procedure involving dropping numerous known-size-calibration drops from a tower of sufficient height to achieve terminal velocity. The test drop sizes must adequately span the size range of interest. Alternative- ly, or as a supplement to the single drop calibration, an in situ method of comparing the sum of accumulated drop impulses to the tip time interval of a tipping-bucket rain gauge may be uti- lized.3 Prior to launch, the Space Shuttle and other NASA launch vehicles are primarily large ther- mos bottles containing substantial quantities of cryogenic fuels.

  • Propulsion and Flight Controls Integration for the Blended Wing Body Aircraft
    Cranfield University Naveed ur Rahman Propulsion and Flight Controls Integration for the Blended Wing Body Aircraft School of Engineering PhD Thesis Cranfield University Department of Aerospace Sciences School of Engineering PhD Thesis Academic Year 2008-09 Naveed ur Rahman Propulsion and Flight Controls Integration for the Blended Wing Body Aircraft Supervisor: Dr James F. Whidborne May 2009 c Cranfield University 2009. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. Abstract The Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft offers a number of aerodynamic perfor- mance advantages when compared with conventional configurations. However, while operating at low airspeeds with nominal static margins, the controls on the BWB aircraft begin to saturate and the dynamic performance gets sluggish. Augmenta- tion of aerodynamic controls with the propulsion system is therefore considered in this research. Two aspects were of interest, namely thrust vectoring (TVC) and flap blowing. An aerodynamic model for the BWB aircraft with blown flap effects was formulated using empirical and vortex lattice methods and then integrated with a three spool Trent 500 turbofan engine model. The objectives were to estimate the effect of vectored thrust and engine bleed on its performance and to ascertain the corresponding gains in aerodynamic control effectiveness. To enhance control effectiveness, both internally and external blown flaps were sim- ulated. For a full span internally blown flap (IBF) arrangement using IPC flow, the amount of bleed mass flow and consequently the achievable blowing coefficients are limited. For IBF, the pitch control effectiveness was shown to increase by 18% at low airspeeds.

  • Root Seal Installation Intro
    Root Seal Installation Intro: Replacing the wing and stabilizer seals on a plane is not a small job, but it can be done one seal at a time if trying to fit the work into a busy flying schedule. It took us two days to replace one seal. I’m not an expert and made several mistakes on the first try due to a lack of information. I would expect it to take one day or less per seal for the next ones. What follows tries to capture what we learned. Background: The wing root seals have a complex cross section with a center root and a wide lip attached to that root. The root and lip essentially grasp the wing skin out-of- sight below the seal. The root and lip must be pushed through the gap between the wing skin and fuselage such that the lip flips back under the skin and the root is trapped between the edge of the skin and the side of the fuselage. At some point before I owned my Baron, the original seal had been cut off, leaving the root and lip in place glued to the underside of the wing skin. This was a shortcut that is not uncommon but creates later problems. A new seal, after having the center root and lip removed, had been glued to the wing and fuselage using the 3M yellow contact cement. Over time the 3M cement degraded and since there was no root/lip to hold it in place, the replacement seal was torn away by the slipstream.

  • Properties of Diamond Dust Type Ice Crystals Observed in Summer Season at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica
    180 JournaloftheMeteorological SocietyofJapanVol 57,No.2 Properties of Diamond Dust Type Ice Crystals Observed in Summer Season at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica By Katsuhiro Kikuchi Department of Geophysics, Hokkaido University, Sapporo and Austin W. Hogan Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, State University of New York at Albany, Albany, New York (Manuscript received 17 November 1977, in revised form 20 May 1978) Abstract The properties of diamond dust type ice crystals were studied from replicas obtained during the 1975 austral summer at South Pole Station, Antarctica. The time variation of the number concentration and shapes of crystals, and the length of the c-axis, the axial ratio (c/a) and the growth mode of columnar type crystal were examined at an air tempera- ture of -35*. Columnar type crystals prevailed, but occasionally more than half the number of ice crystals were plate types, including hexagonal, scalene hexagonal, pentagonal, rhombic, trapezoidal and triangular plates. A time variation of two hour periodicity was found in the number concentration of columnar and plate type crystals. When the number con- centration of columnar type crystals decreased, the length of the c-axis of columnar type crystals also decreased. When the number concentration of columnar type crystals increased, the length of the c-axis of the crystals also increased. There was sufficient water vapor to grow these ice crystals in a supersaturation layer several tens to several hundred meters above the surface. The growth mode of columnar type crystals was different from that of warm and cold region columns reported by Ono (1969). The mass growth rate was 6.0* 10-10 gr*sec-1, and was similar to that obtained in cold room experiments by Mason (1953), but less than that found in field experiments by Isono, et al.
