1. Reciprocating principle

A reciprocating engine is a famous type of engine that uses one or more pistons to transform the
thermal energy of the fuel into rotary motion. It is known as a reciprocating engine because of the
piston’s reciprocating or backward and forward motion that generates the mechanical power required
to complete the task. A reciprocating engine is also known as a piston engine because it uses a piston.
These engines are used in most light aircraft.

A reciprocating engine works on the basic principle of converting chemical power (fuel) into mechanical
energy (rotary motion). This transformation happens inside the engine cylinder during the combustion
process.

All reciprocating engines have one or more pistons. The reciprocating or piston engines are available in
both two-stroke and four-stroke cycles.

2. Turbine engine propulsion

Jet engines move the airplane forward with a great force that is produced by a tremendous thrust and
causes the plane to fly very fast.

All jet engines, which are also called gas turbines, work on the same principle. The engine sucks air in at
the front with a fan. A compressor raises the pressure of the air. The compressor is made with many
blades attached to a shaft. The blades spin at high speed and compress or squeeze the air. The
compressed air is then sprayed with fuel and an electric spark lights the mixture. The burning gases
expand and blast out through the nozzle, at the back of the engine. As the jets of gas shoot backward,
the engine and the aircraft are thrust forward. As the hot air is going to the nozzle, it passes through
another group of blades called the turbine. The turbine is attached to the same shaft as the compressor.
Spinning the turbine causes the compressor to spin.

1. AMM- AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE MANUAL

The formal document which details the way in which all maintenance tasks carried out on an aircraft
shall be accomplished. This includes items such as lubrication system functional checks and servicing of
the airplane but usually excludes structural repairs and modifications.

Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM) is a manual developed by the manufacturer that provides detailed
technical maintenance instructions for a specific type of Aircraft. The Aircraft Maintenance Engineer
and/or Technician refer to the relevant AMM of the aircraft before they proceed further with the
maintenance of the aircraft and its systems.

2. DC - DIRECT CURRENT

Direct current (DC) is an electric current that is uni-directional, so the flow of charge is always in the
same direction. As opposed to alternating current, the direction and amperage of direct currents do not
change. It is used in many household electronics and in all devices that use batteries.

Electric current flows in two ways as an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). The main
difference between AC and DC lies in the direction in which the electrons flow. In DC, the electrons flow
steadily in a single direction, while electrons keep switching directions, going forward and then
backwards in AC.

3. AC- ALTERNATING CURRENT

Direct current (DC) is an electric current that is uni-directional, so the flow of charge is always in the
same direction. As opposed to alternating current, the direction and amperage of direct currents do not
change. It is used in many household electronics and in all devices that use batteries.

Electric current flows in two ways as an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). The main
difference between AC and DC lies in the direction in which the electrons flow. In DC, the electrons flow
steadily in a single direction, while electrons keep switching directions, going forward and then
backwards in AC.

4. SRM- STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL

Structural Repair Manual means the manual containing descriptive information for identification and
repair of Aircraft primary and secondary structure.

Any aircraft can be damaged. The SRM or structure repair manual first tells us how to assess the damage.
Then tells us to classify the damage and finally how to repair the damage. The repair must meet all the
requirement of FAR or Federal Aviation Regulation. This repair is reviewed and certified by an AR or
authorized representative. That is the aircraft becomes airworthy.

5. MSDS- MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

A material safety data sheet (MSDS) includes information about potential risks and hazards to workers
handling toxic substances. Learn more about the definition and purpose of an MSDS and explore
important MSDS considerations regarding worker safety, fire, and reactivity hazards.
One way that consumers and workers are informed of the risks is by use of material safety data sheets.
A material safety data sheet (or MSDS) is a document that provides workers with procedures for safely
handling or working with a particular substance. It includes technical information like boiling points,
toxicities, reactivities, and various numbers. And also, it includes instructions regarding necessary
protective equipment, how to handle spills, first aid suggestions, storage and disposal, and the general
health effects. The exact contents and requirements vary by country.

6. IPC- ILLUSTRATED PARTS CATALOG

A key ancillary reference document specific to aircraft type, published by manufacturers, which
describes in comprehensive detail, along with illustrations and part numbers, every component on the
aircraft.

Illustrated part catalogue helps you in exploring through a huge space warehouse to find a particular
piece of spare part. You can rapidly find spare part or areas, decreasing the time spent searching. Invest
more energy performing support, and less time searching for needed part.

7. SB- SERVICE BULLETIN

Manufacturers issue aircraft Service Bulletins to inform owners and operators about critical and useful
information on aircraft safety, maintenance, or product improvement. Compliance with Service Bulletins
may or may not be mandatory, but you should never ignore them when it comes to safety.

Service bulletins are automatically sent to the owner of an aircraft by the aircraft or component
manufacturer. However, aircraft owner’s should be aware that service bulletins are not automatically
sent to maintenance providers.

A service bulletin contains a recommendation from the manufacturer with which it believes the aircraft
owner should comply and that often reflects a safety of flight issue that the manufacturer believes
should be addressed within a certain time frame. It may result from an improvement developed by the
manufacturer. Or it may address a defect in its product or published documentation.

8. AD- AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

Airworthiness Directives (ADs) are legally enforceable rules issued by the FAA in accordance with 14 CFR
part 39 to correct an unsafe condition in a product. 14 CFR part 39 defines a product as an aircraft,
aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance.

Airworthiness Directive (AD). A regulatory document which identifies aeronautical products in which an
unsafe condition exists, and where the “unsafe” condition is likely to exist or develop in other
aeronautical products of the same type design. It prescribes mandatory corrective actions to be taken or
the conditions or limitations under which the aeronautical products may continue to be operated. The
AD is the common form of mandatory continuing airworthiness information mentioned in Annex 8.
9. AC- ADVISORY CIRCULARS

Advisory circular (AC) refers to a type of publication offered by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
to provide guidance for compliance with airworthiness regulations, pilot certification, operational
standards, training standards, and any other rules within the 14 CFR Aeronautics and Space Title. They
define acceptable means, but not the only means, of accomplishing or showing compliance with
airworthiness regulations.[1] Generally informative in nature, Advisory Circulars are neither binding nor
regulatory; yet some have the effect of de facto standards or regulations.

Advisory Circulars are informational documents produced by the Federal Aviation Administration to
inform and guide institutions and individuals within the aviation industry, as well as the general public.
Advisory Circulars are intended to be informative in nature and not regulatory; however, many times
they describe actions or advice that the FAA expects to be implemented or followed.

10. STC- SUPPLEMENTAL TYPE CERTIFICATE

A supplemental type certificate is a civil aviation authority-approved major modification or repair to an

existing type certified aircraft, engine or propeller. As it adds to the existing type certificate, it is deemed
"supplemental.

Supplemental Type Certificates

A supplemental type certificate (STC) is a type certificate (TC) issued when an applicant has received FAA
approval to modify an aeronautical product from its original design. The STC, which incorporates by
reference the related TC, approves not only the modification but also how that modification affects the
original design.

11. TBO- TIME BETWEEN OVERHAUL

Time between overhauls is the manufacturer's recommended number of running hours or calendar time
before an aircraft engine or other component requires overhaul. On rotorcraft, many components have
recommended or mandatory TBOs, including main rotor blades, tail rotor blades and gearboxes.

Time Between Overhaul or “TBO” means the maximum number of Flight Hours that may be logged on a
component before the Maintenance Manual requires the component be removed for overhaul.
