Daily Inspection (DI)

General Inspection:
  1. Ventilating Ram air inlet duct for cabin air.
  2. Pitot Heads and static Vents
  3. Drain holes and inspection of derbies on the fuselage 

  4. Antennas (underside)
  5. Wheel nose tire
  6. Nose oleo and Piston
  7. Cover Pitot
Before going in depth about the further steps in the inspection, we need to know the areas of the planes that are used as a nomenclature to represent certain parts of the aircraft.
They are:
A1, A2, A3, A4, A5

A1 Internal
 Ensure Gust lock- flaps 0 and brakes set

A2 External
Main wheel assembly brake
 

A2 Internal
Battery and flashlght
firstaid kit- seal check
 

 A3 External
Inspect stabilizers, rudder, elevators, trim and geared tabs

A4 External
Inspect fire extinguishing indicator discs for evidence of extinguisher discharge.
Inspect wing strut
Inspect wing fuel vent outlet
Engine:
Inspect engine intake deflector and screen
Check for oil level
inspect propeller blade
 

A5 External
Inspect fire extinguishing indicator discs for evidence of extinguisher discharge.
Inspect wing strut
Inspect wing fuel vent outlet
Engine:
Inspect engine intake deflector and screen
Check for oil level
inspect propeller blade


 
Operational Checks:
  1. Funtional test of position lights, anticollision lights and landing lights.
  2. CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder)
  3. Beacon test
  4. Portable oxygen test
  5. Emergency exit door and window

Understanding DO 178C (Safety critical avionics software)

DO-178C (Document for Operational) What Is DO-178C? DO-178C , officially titled “Software Considerations in Airborne Systems and Equipment Certification,” is a set of guidelines published by RTCA (U.S.) and EUROCAE (Europe). It provides a rigorous framework to plan, develop, test, and certify software used in aircraft systems , ensuring that the software is both safe and compliant with regulatory requirements. It is widely accepted by FAA , EASA , and other aviation authorities worldwide. Why DO-178C Is Important Airborne software can impact human lives . Whether it’s controlling engine thrust, displaying flight routes, or automating cabin pressure, a software error could have catastrophic consequences . DO-178C ensures: Safety-critical systems behave predictably Software is free from unintended behavior Traceability exists between requirements, code, and tests Key Principles of DO-178C 1. Software Levels (DAL – Design Assurance Levels) The stringency of testing and proce...

ATA numbering system

 An aircarft has a lot of parts, manufacturing them is one thing maintaining them is some other level challange. Thus to describe what needs to be done for what part requires a lot of documentation.  The easy way engineers have come up is to name each section of the aircraft as different title numbers.  ATA- Air Traffic association. It was created by people in ATA so called ATA chapters.  with 100 chapters ATA  So when some one says ATA chapter 72 it will always mean engine. ATA 27 flight controls ATA 32 landing gear ATA 72 is engine  and so on If we go even deeper. ATA 72-00-01 is fan module ATA 72-00-02 is core module ATA 72-00-03 is HPT Module ATA 72-00-04 is LPT module ATA 72-00-05 is AGB module and so on
