Accident/Indecent Prevention Program


  Salient feature of  program : Flight Safety - Accident/Indecent Prevention Program 
 1. steps for building safety culture in the organisation and declare firm commitment to safety.
2.To carry out periodically  internal safety audit of different divisions like operations, maintenance, commercial, security, ground support, etc. and carried out by a dedicated group comprising of at least a senior pilot and an engineer.
3. The value of data retrieved from the Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR) and Digital Flight Data Recorders (DFDR) has been proven. Periodic monitoring of CVR and DFDR must be carried out by all operators. 
4. develop suitable computer software to determine the deviations of different flight parameters beyond acceptable limits.
5.The cockpit procedures must be standardised and the Examiners/ Instructors / Check Pilots of the airlines, while flying with other pilots, should ensure strict adherence to the laid down procedures and cockpit discipline. 
6.Frequency of flight checks shall be increased during bad weather conditions like monsoon, fog, etc. Under such conditions crew should not hesitate to initiate a missed approach whenever the visual reference to the runway is lost. 
7.The crew shall be given assurance that their safety related decisions (e.g. go around, diversion, etc.) shall be supported by the management. If the crew fears action against him for diversion, then the operator is inviting a big safety problem.
8. Pilot recruitment is an important aspect from safety point of view. Operators should assess pilots not only for their flying skills but also for their attitude and compatibility. Careful recruitment is the best investment of an airline for safety.
9.The critical operational areas shall be monitored closely so that these do not result in any serious safety hazard. Such areas are initial induction of new airline pilots, transition to a totally new type of aircraft like glass cockpit aircraft, operations to and from marginal runways, operations during monsoon, loading of aircraft under high ambient temperature and elevation conditions, operations to airfields located in mountainous terrain, airworthiness and operational control of leased aircraft, etc.
10. Flight and Duty Time Limitations shall be laid down for the operating crew to ensure that the crew are not fatigued which may affect safety of operations. Rostering of the crew should be done keeping in view the flight and duty time limitation requirements. All scheduled airlines shall establish electronic/computer based system for monitoring Flight and Duty Time Limitations. Also crew pairing should be done carefully for better crew coordination.
11.In order to ensure that maintenance of aircraft is up to the mark, only the firms approved by DGCA as per CAR 145/CAR M.
12. The organization shall have adequate number of quality assurance staff which are able to monitor compliance with CAR 145/ CAR M
13. Compliance with MEL requirements shall be ensured and proper documentation shall be maintained.
14. Regular checks shall be carried out by the operator to ensure that standard weights of crew and passengers are being used and loading of aircraft is within the limits as per RTOLW charts with proper centre of gravity. Load and trim sheets shall also be checked periodically to ensure their accuracy and their proper filling up for any irregularity. Check whether loading of the aircraft is being supervised.
15. Periodic inspection shall be carried out to ensure adherence to apron discipline and procedures by ground support personnel, serviceability of ground support equipments and other facilities 
16. Periodic review of emergency response procedure shall be carried out to ensure the preparedness .
17. Regular statistical analysis of the accident and incident data shall be carried out to determine whether there has been an improvement or decline in level of safety. This analysis shall provide a useful hazard alerting technique.

Cessna 152 Magneto Check

MAGNETO CHECK. NEVER ADVANCE TIMING BEYOND SPECIFICATIONS IN ORDER TO REDUCE RPM DROP. Too much importance is being attached to RPM drop in single ignition. RPM drop on single ignition is a natural characteristic of dual ignition design. The purpose of the following magneto check is to determine that all cylinders are firing. If all cylinders are not firing, the engine will run extremely rough and cause for investigation will be quite apparent. The amount of RPM drop is not necessarily significant and will be influenced by ambient air temperature, humidity, airport altitude, etc. In fact, absence of RPM drop should be cause for suspicion that the magneto timing has been bumped up and is set in advance of the setting specified. Magneto checks should be performed on a comparative basis between individual right and left magneto performance. a. Start and run engine until the oil and cylinder head temperatures are in normal operating ranges. b. Advance engine speed to 1700 RPM. c. Tu...

Brake System Cessna 172

                             BRAKE SYSTEM -MAINTENANCE PRACTICES              1. Description and Operation A. The hydraulic brake system is comprised of two master cylinders, located immediately forward of the  pilot’s rudder pedals, brake lines and hoses, and single-disc, floating cylinder brake assemblies located at  each main landing gear wheel. B. The parking brake system is comprised of a pull-type handle and mechanical connections which are  linked to the rudder pedal assembly. Pulling aft on the brake handle applies mechanical pressure to the  rudder pedals, activating the brakes and locks the handle in place. Turning the handle 90 degrees will  release the parking brake and allow for normal operation through the rudder pedals. C. Brake operation is accomplished by pushing on the upper part of each rudder pedal. This motion i...

McCauley Propeller Installation fixed pitch

Image
Propeller Installation for all fixed pitch propellers (except 1A162 model propellers).                   WARNING: MAKE SURE THE MAGNETO IS GROUNDED BEFORE INSTALLING  THE PROPELLER OR CONNECTING EXTERNAL POWER.                NOTE: McCauley recommends that propeller mounting nuts (if applicable) be replaced at each  propeller installation, whenever possible. However, nuts may be reused providing the threads are in good condition and the locking material prevents turning of the nut on the  stud by hand. Propeller mounting bolts must be magnetic particle inspected in accordance  with ASTM E-1444 or replaced whenever the propeller is removed from the engine.                NOTE: The aircraft maintenance manual or STC installation instructions should always be  consulted for any specialized procedures applicable to a specific aircraft....
