- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Oxygen Systems › Servicing of Oxygen Systems
Servicing of Oxygen Systems Before servicing any aircraft with oxygen, consult the specific aircraft service manual to determine the type of equipment required and procedures to be used. Certain precautions should be observed whenever aircraft oxygen systems ... serviced. Oxygen system servicing should be accomplished only when the aircraft is located outside of the hangars. Personal cleanliness and good housekeeping are imperative when working with oxygen. Oxygen under pressure creates spontaneous results when brought in contact with petroleum…

useful, especially during cold weather starting. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for engine starting using a GPU. The electrical system is turned on or off with a master switch. Turning the master switch to the ON position provides electrical energy ... electrical equipment circuits except the ignition system. Equipment that commonly uses the electrical system for its source of energy includes: • Position lights • Anticollision lights • Landing lights • Taxi lights • Interior cabin lights • Instrument lights • Radio equipment • Turn indicator Fuel gauges Electric…
- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Heating System › Exhaust Heating Systems
Exhaust Heating Systems Exhaust heating systems are the simplest type of aircraft heating system and are used on most light aircraft. Exhaust heating systems are used to route exhaust gases away from the engine and fuselage while reducing engine noise ... exhaust systems also serve as a heat source for the cabin and carburetor. The risks of operating an aircraft with a defective exhaust heating system include carbon monoxide poisoning, a decrease in engine performance, and an increased potential for fire…

Some manufacturers combine both the air data computer (ADC) and the attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) functions so that a blockage of the input system may also affect the attitude display. With conventional instrumentation, the design and operation ... similar regardless of aircraft or manufacturer. By comparing information between the six conventional instruments, pilots are able to diagnose common failure modes. Instrument failure indications of conventional instruments and electronic flight displays may be entirely different, and electronic systems failure…

Minimum Equipment List The MEL serves as a reference guide for dispatchers and pilots to determine whether takeoff of an aircraft with inoperative instruments or equipment is authorized under the provisions of applicable regulatory requirements. The operator models ... after the FAA’s Master MEL (MMEL) for each type of aircraft and the Administrator approves the MEL before its implementation. The MEL includes a “General” section, comprised of definitions, general policies, as well as operational procedures for flight crews…
