1. How can non-corrosive food have filled behind a galley cause corrosion
of the structure?
The majority of aircraft flight control systems depend heavily on control cables. Typically
made of carbon steel or stainless steel, the cables are lubricated as they are being
produced.
If corrosion is thought to be present, the tension on the cable should be released, and
the strands should be opened by twisting against the lay. Consequently, you can see in
between the strands. Replace any cables that show signs of corrosion.
Additionally crucial to your inspection is to look over and rotate the pulleys. You can
examine the bearings' condition and wear by rotating the pulleys. If the bearing is frozen
or the pulley is out of alignment, you can tell from the wear pattern on the pulley.
Additionally, you must lubricate the cables and pulleys in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Why it is important that all drain hole in bilge areas be open?
keeping access points and drains functional and open. Drain paths shouldn't be blocked
by sealants, leveling compounds, random debris, or corrosion inhibitors. Corrosion
contaminants and moisture accumulated because of blocked drain passages.
The bilge is a common trouble spot on all aircraft. There is a bilge. Natural accumulator
or sump for loose fasteners, water, dirt, and used hydraulic fluids drill bits and other
waste Frequently, residual oil conceals small amounts of water. which sink to the
bottom and form a hidden corrosion cell with potential. excluding water removing
corrosion-preventing substances, maintaining bilge areas free of extraneous materials
the best protection against corrosion will be provided by materials, including water and
oil. A good clean wiping cloths and a vacuum cleaner are useful cleaning supplies.
