CAR SEC 2 - PART V ISSUE III, Rev.1 FDR

 SUBJECT: FLIGHT DATA RECORDERS, COMBINATION RECORDERS, DATALINK                                    RECORDERS, AIRBORNE IMAGE RECORDERS, AIRBORNE IMAGE                                        RECORDING SYSTEM AND AIRCRAFT DATA RECORDING SYSTEM


3. FLIGHT RECORDER COMPOSITION: 

 3.1 Crash protected flight recorders comprise one or more of the following Systems: a flight data recorder (FDR), a cockpit voice recorder (CVR), an airborne image recorder (AIR), a data link recorder (DLR). Image and data link information may be recorded on either the CVR or the FDR. When image or data link information is required to be recorded on a crashprotected flight recorder, it is permissible to record it on either the CVR or the FDR. 

3.2 Light weight flight recorders comprise one or more of the following: An aircraft data recording system (ADRS), a cockpit audio recording system (CARS), an airborne image recording system (AIRS), a data link recording system (DLRS). 

 When image or data link information is required to be recorded on a lightweight flight recorder, it is permissible to record it on either the CARS or the ADRS.

6. DATA LINK RECORDERS 

 6.1 Applicability 

 6.1.1 All aeroplanes and helicopters for which the individual certificate of airworthiness are first issued on or after 1 January 2016, which use any of the data link communications applications referred to in para 6.4.2 and are required to carry a CVR, shall record the data link communications messages on a crash protected flight recorder. 

6.1.2 All aeroplanes and helicopter for which the individual certificate of airworthiness was first issued before 1 January 2016, that are required to carry a CVR and are modified on or after 1 January 2016 to use any of the data link communications applications referred to in para 6.4.2 and shall record the data link communication messages on a crash protected flight recorder unless theinstalled data link communications equipment is compliant with a type certificate issued or aircraft modification first approved prior to 1 January 2016. Note 1 - A Class B AIR (Airborne Image Recorder) could be a means for recording data link communications applications messages to and from the aeroplanes/helicopters where it is not practical or is prohibitively expensive to record those data link communications applications messages on FDR or CVR. Note 2.— The “aircraft modifications” refer to modifications to install the data link communications equipment on the aircraft (e.g. structural, wiring). 

 6.1.3 All aeroplanes and helicopters for which the individual certificate of airworthiness was first issued before 1 January 2016, that are required to carry a CVR and are modified on or after 1 January 2016 to use any of the data link communications applications referred to in para 6.4.2 should record the data link communications messages on a crash-protected flight recorder.

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 is  mechanically transmitted to the respective brake master cylinder, and through fluid-carrying lines out to  the brake assembly where fluid pressure

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. Various spinner arrangements not manufactured by McCauley may be used which require additional procedures. (1) Make sure the mating surfaces of t
