  • Chapter 6: Lubrication & Cooling Systems › Pressure System › Magnetic Chip Detectors

    sumps. Some engines have several detectors to one detector. During maintenance, the chip detectors are removed from the engine and inspected for metal; if none is found, the detector is cleaned, replaced, and safety wired. If metal is found…

  • Chapter 6: Lubrication & Cooling Systems › Turbine Engine Oil System Maintenance

    Checking or servicing aircraft engine oil is an important maintenance function. Before servicing any aircraft engine, consult the specific aircraft maintenance manual to determine the proper type of servicing equipment and procedures. In general, aircraft engine oil is checked with ... correct level. Turbine engines must be checked just after shutdown. Maintenance of scavenge and breather systems at regular inspections includes checks for oil leaks and security of mounting of system components. Also, check chip detectors for particles of ferrous material…
