The new or amended text is indicated by a vertical black line at the left hand side of the revised page, with the revision number and date appearing at the bottom of the page. If pages are revised which contain information valid for your particular serial number (modification level of the airplane, weighing data, Equipment Inventory, List of Supplements), then this information must be transferred to the new pages in hand-writing. Temporary Revisions, if applicable, are inserted behind the cover page of this manual. Temporary Revisions are used to provide information on systems or equipment until the next 'permanent' Revision of the Airplane Flight Manual. When a 'permanent' Revision covers a Mandatory or Optional Design Change Advisory (MÄM or OÄM), then the corresponding Temporary Revision is superseded.

Violators are subject to fines up to $25,000 per incident. Refer to the California Health and Safety Code [HSC §25100] for more details. INTRODUCTION According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data, there were approximately 140,000 active piston-powered General Aviation (GA) aircraft in the United States with over 12.9 million hours flown in 2014. Each of those aircraft rely on aviation gas (AvGas) to fuel their engines. AvGas is a highly flammable liquid containing organic lead and is a hazardous material. During the mandatory pre-flight safety inspection, pilots sample the fuel in the aircraft and inspect the fuel for contaminants.

  • How Doc Draper Became the Father of Inertial Guidance
    (Preprint) AAS 18-121 HOW DOC DRAPER BECAME THE FATHER OF INERTIAL GUIDANCE Philip D. Hattis* With Missouri roots, a Stanford Psychology degree, and a variety of MIT de- grees, Charles Stark “Doc” Draper formulated the basis for reliable and accurate gyro-based sensing technology that enabled the first and many subsequent iner- tial navigation systems. Working with colleagues and students, he created an Instrumentation Laboratory that developed bombsights that changed the balance of World War II in the Pacific. His engineering teams then went on to develop ever smaller and more accurate inertial navigation for aircraft, submarines, stra- tegic missiles, and spaceflight. The resulting inertial navigation systems enable national security, took humans to the Moon, and continue to find new applica- tions. This paper discusses the history of Draper’s path to becoming known as the “Father of Inertial Guidance.” FROM DRAPER’S MISSOURI ROOTS TO MIT ENGINEERING Charles Stark Draper was born in 1901 in Windsor Missouri. His father was a dentist and his mother (nee Stark) was a school teacher. The Stark family developed the Stark apple that was popular in the Midwest and raised the family to prominence1 including a cousin, Lloyd Stark, who became governor of Missouri in 1937. Draper was known to his family and friends as Stark (Figure 1), and later in life was known by colleagues as Doc. During his teenage years, Draper enjoyed tinkering with automobiles. He also worked as an electric linesman (Figure 2), and at age 15 began a liberal arts education at the University of Mis- souri in Rolla.

It is not the function of the Board to assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability. Aviation Investigation Report Engine Failure Cessna 172M C-FFRV Montréal, Quebec 10 September 2006 Report Number A06Q0157 Summary A Cessna 172M, registration C-FFRV, serial number 17262394, with the pilot and two passengers on board, took off at 1545 eastern daylight time from Saint-Hubert Airport, Quebec, for a flight according to visual flight rules over Montréal, Quebec. About 15 minutes after take-off, when the aircraft was over the city, the engine (Lycoming O320-H2AD) lost power and stopped. The pilot tried to restart it, but without success. The pilot transmitted a distress message and quickly reported the situation to the control tower. The aircraft was approximately 1250 feet above ground level at the time. The pilot landed the aircraft on the northbound side of Parc Avenue, in Montréal. On landing, the left wing tip struck a traffic light post before the aircraft came to rest. The aircraft was substantially damaged, but there were no injuries. Ce rapport est également disponible en français. - 2 - Other Factual Information The pilot was certified and qualified for the flight in accordance with existing regulations. He had over 30 years of flying experience, including 22 years on this aircraft, and had about 5000 flying hours. The weather observation taken at 1600 eastern daylight time1 was as follows: visibility 9 statute miles, light winds and a few scattered clouds.

  • Fuel Tank Maintenance & Safety
    Slide 1 Fuel Tank Maintenance & Safety This fuel tank safety course will deal with inspections and preventions required to identify ignition sources of the design. The reason for concern about Fuel Tank Safety The proposal stemmed from the July 1995 TWA Flight 800 explosion over the Atlantic. The Boeing 747 broke apart after takeoff from New York, killing all 230 people aboard. Investigators believe a wiring problem triggered a spark that ignited fuel vapors in the jet's center tank. In November 15, 2005 US airlines and aircraft manufacturers would have to equip more than 3,200 passenger jets with safety systems to reduce the potential of fuel tank fire or explosions, according to a Federal Aviation Administration Maintenance training for the technicians is one of those safety features. The maintenance of ignition prevention is necessary for the inherent safety and reliability of an aircraft’s fuel tank system. The aircraft cannot be operated indefinitely with the failure of an ignition prevention feature. The failure will have a direct adverse effect on operational safety. The Fuel Tank Safety program will prevent catastrophic failure and allow safe flight and landing of the aircraft without serious or fatal injury to the occupants. This fuel tank safety course will deal with inspections and preventions required to identify ignition sources of the design. The failure of any of these design sources may not immediately result in an unsafe condition, but it may warrant certain maintenance to support continued airworthiness. Note: A large percentage of the work involved in properly inspecting and modifying airplane fuel tanks and their systems this must be done in the inside of the tanks.

The objectives of this study are the design, per- formance and economic analyses of practical aircraft fuel heating systems that would permit the use of high freezing-point fuels on long-range aircraft. Two hypothetical hydrocarbon fuels with freezing points of-29° C and -18° C are used in this study to represent the variation from current day jet fuels A Boeing 747-200 with JT9D-7/7A engines is used as the baseline aircraft.

  • Boeing 737 Postmaintenance Test Flight Encounters Uncommanded Roll-And-Yaw Oscillations
    FLIGHT SAFETY FOUNDATION Accident Prevention Vol. 55 No. 5 For Everyone Concerned with the Safety of Flight May 1998 Boeing 737 Postmaintenance Test Flight Encounters Uncommanded Roll-and-yaw Oscillations Fluid leaking from the cabin onto the yaw-damper coupler in the electronic-and-equipment bay affected electronic signals transmitted to the yaw-damper actuator and caused a dutch-roll oscillation. FSF Editorial Staff On Oct. 22, 1995, a Boeing 737-236 Advanced was • “Sufficiently conductive contaminant paths in straight-and-level flight at Flight Level (FL) 200 between certain adjacent pins had affected the (20,000 feet), at an indicated airspeed of 290 knots phase and magnitude of the signals transmitted when roll-and-yaw oscillations began. The flight crew to the yaw-damper actuator, thereby stimulating disengaged the autopilot, autothrottles and yaw a forced dutch-roll mode of the aircraft; damper, but the uncommanded roll-and-yaw oscillations continued. • “The location of the E&E bay — beneath the cabin floor in the area of the aircraft doors, galleys The crew declared an emergency and descended to and toilets — made it vulnerable to fluid ingress 7,000 feet. The oscillations stopped when airspeed was from a variety of sources; [and,] reduced to about 250 knots. After a satisfactory check of the aircraft’s low-speed handling characteristics, the • “The crew actions immediately following the crew returned to London (England) Gatwick Airport onset of the dutch-roll oscillations did not result and landed without further incident. in the disengagement of the malfunctioning yaw- damper system.” The U.K. Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB), in its final report on the incident, identified four causal factors: The B-737, operated by British Airways, was built in 1980 and had accumulated 37,871 hours in service.
