§Study guide: Flying technique
This page brings together the most important concepts from the trade so you have them in one place when you study for an exam or need to start a task. Use it as a reference and revision.
Why the trade is so regulated
- 01An error in the air cannot be corrected along the way — safety depends on the work on the ground.
- 02The rules are written from experience of accidents.
- 03Maintenance must only be performed by approved companies and trained authorized personnel.
Work process
- 01Planned maintenance: regular inspections catch wear and faults early.
- 02Troubleshooting: systematic from symptom to cause, not guessing.
- 03Repair: approved parts, prescribed tools and torques.
- 04Inspection and documentation: the work is only finished when it has been verified and approved.
The aircraft's systems
| System | Function |
|---|---|
| Structure | Bearing structure of the aircraft — fuselage, wings, tail |
| Propulsion | The motors create the power |
| Control systems | Controls the plane's movement |
| Hydraulics | Transmits force to e.g. control surfaces |
| Electricity and instruments | Current, measurement and information |
| Cabin systems | Pressure, air and temperature on board |
Safety and habits
- 01Look it up in the documentation — every time, even on familiar tasks.
- 02Count tools and small parts before and after work.
- 03Relieve pressure and cut the power where required, and use protective equipment.
- 04Doubt is a stop signal; report errors openly.
“Screw correctly, inspect thoroughly, document honestly. That is the whole profession — and it is what people trust their lives to.”
