Download or read book The Essentials of Airplane Maintenance written by Michael Loong and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2015-01-28 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can a CEO spend creative energy to improve the performance of his organization instead of spending patch-up energy to quick-fix symptoms of problems? How can he develop a balanced, proactive plan (like a yin-yang relationship) so that his managers can properly manage their portfolios according to the companys aims and objectives? The heart of The Essentials of Airplane Maintenance addresses issues concerning how to set up and manage an engineering and maintenance organization with all necessary facilities, departments, procedures in place, and staffing. Running an airline business in the current global environment is not meant for the fainthearted person or novice. The operation is complex and risky. In The Essentials of Airplane Maintenance, author Michael Loong provides practical information to the new and practicing engineers, engineering, and maintenance managers and CEOs of airlines. His philosophical approach to solving practical problems is enlightening and pragmatic, not only for the airlines, but also for the aviation suppliers. In order to achieve reliability and safe operation of airplanes, he advocates applying economic theory in managing engineering repair and replacement procedures instead of following the book blindly. It is a must-read book to achieve success in the dynamic, complex world of airline operations.

Book excerpt: “There's a dirty little secret about aviation maintenance: it often breaks aircraft instead of fixing them.” “Manifesto” is the much-anticipated first book from renowned aviation columnist and speaker Mike Busch. Written in typical no-nonsense style, it lays out the basis of Mike's “minimalist” maintenance philosophy for owner-flown general aviation aircraft. An owner who follows the book's guidance can save a small fortune on maintenance costs and end up with a safer, more reliable aircraft. Owners are advised to perform the absolute least amount of maintenance required to make their aircraft safe, reliable and legal… and nothing more. The book explains in detail why engine and propeller TBOs and most other manufacturer-prescribed maintenance intervals should be disregarded. And “Manifesto” explains exactly how to do it. About the Author: Mike Busch is arguably the best-known A&P/IA in general aviation. In 2008, he was honored by the FAA as “National Aviation Maintenance Technician of the Year.” Mike has been a prolific aviation writer for more than four decades. His “Savvy Aviator” columns have appeared in numerous publications including EAA Sport Aviation, AOPA's Opinion Leader's Blog, AVweb, and magazines for the three largest GA type clubs (ABS, CPA, and COPA). He is renowned for his free monthly maintenance webinars and his standing-room-only forums at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Mike has been a pilot and aircraft owner for 45 years with 7,500+ hours logged, and he is a CFIA/I/ME. He's founder and CEO of Savvy Aircraft Maintenance Management, Inc., the world's largest firm providing maintenance-management services for owner-flown aircraft.

Download or read book Gray Matter written by Denny Pollard and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be completely frank about it, I'm increasingly aware that there are as many gray areas in aviation as there are black-and-white ones, and I'm beginning to feel as if I know less and less about what I do. I'm a trained and reasonably experienced A&P mechanic, and I'm supposed to know this airplane stuff, but my experiences are often contradictory to what I know are theoretical facts. It's frustrating, and sometimes I think I knew more back when I knew less. Or at least I thought I did. To keep an aircraft in peak operating condition, aircraft mechanics and service technicians perform scheduled maintenance to make repairs and complete inspections required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Many aircraft mechanics specialize in preventive maintenance. They inspect engines, landing gear, instruments, pressurized sections, accessories—brakes, valves, pumps, and air-conditioning systems, for example—and other parts of the aircraft and do the necessary maintenance and replacement of parts. Inspections take place following a schedule based on the number of hours the aircraft has flown, calendar days, cycles of operation, or a combination of these factors. To examine an engine, aircraft mechanics work through specially designed openings while standing on ladders or scaffolds, or use hoists or lifts to remove the entire engine from the craft. After taking an engine apart, mechanics use precision instruments to measure parts for wear and use x-ray and magnetic inspection equipment to check for invisible cracks. Worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced. They may also repair sheet metal or composite surfaces, measure the tension of control cables, and check for corrosion, distortion, and cracks in the fuselage, wings, and tail. After completing all repairs, mechanics must test the equipment to ensure that it works properly.

Book excerpt: With the decline in new aircraft deliveries, ownership, and facilities has come a similar decline in general aviation operations, pilot certification, and sales at fixed base operators (FBOs). It is clear that, because of the challenges faced by the industry, FBOs must be well-managed to survive. Written from the academic and practical aviation experiences of the authors, this text provides the analytical tools that will assist the manager of the aviation service business who wishes to capitalize on these challenges and opportunities. It is intended to serve both undergraduate and graduate academic audiences, as well as to be a practical reference for the individual in industry. Also includes are links to additional trade and industry materials, many of which are available on the Internet from a host of professional organizations, to supplement the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the origin of flight, the main goal of aircraft maintenance has been to efficiently correct defects and prevent failures. From the original days of manned or unmanned flight, the individuals and their processes to repair, modify, maintain, and service the vehicles that were used to rise above the ground have largely been unsung. Aircraft Maintenance is a comprehensive executive-summary-style report written for business professions, engineers, mechancis, technicians, educators, and students that covers everything from history, evolution, evaluation and the future. Author Bruce R. Aubin examines and explains the processes and systemsof aircraft maintenance that were developed to ensure the quality, viability, and safety of the people and machines committed to flight.

This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of Aircraft, Engines and Components brings together the basic aspects of a fundamentally important part of the aerospace industry, the one that supports the global technical efforts to keep passenger and cargo planes flying reliably and safely. Over time, aircraft components and structural parts are subject to environmental effects, such as corrosion and other types of material deterioration, wear and fatigue. Such parts could fail in service and affect the safe operation of the aircraft if the degradation were not detected and addressed in time. Regular planned maintenance supports the current and future value of the aircraft by minimizing the physical decline of the aircraft and engines throughout its life. Introduction to Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of Aircraft, Engines and Components was written by the industry veteran, Shevantha K. Weerasekera, an aerospace engineer with 20+ years of aircraft maintenance experience, who currently leads the engineering team of a major technical enterprise in the field.
