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

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...

Thrust Reversal

Thrust Reversal consist of 2 words. Thrust and reversal. This is a process adopted to reduce the aircraft velocity during landing. It is a type of braking system. The braking system in an aircraft consist of: 1. Landing Gear brakes. 2. Ground Spoilers 3. Thrust reversal. So while talking about the thrust reversal, the type of aircraft has an important role to play. For the propeller driven aircraft  the reverse thrust is achieved with the appropriate change in the blade angle. However for a jet engine the reversal of the thrust come in basically 2 major types: 1. Reversal by the use of hot exhaust. 2. Reversal by the use of cold bypass air. Classification in terms of mechanism used are: 1. Target (bucket) type  Operated With hydraulics in turbojet engine 2. Clamshell (Cascade) type  Operated with Pneumatics in Low bypass turbofan engine 3. Coldstream type The cold stream reverser system is activated by an air motor in High bypass turbofan engine ...
