Safety wire, check on corrosion applied...

Last Thursday, we have training on safety wire and corrosin check on the aircraft in the hangar. The instructor, Hj. Megat have divide members of easa4 into small groups. Each group with 4 members have to check wether the parts in the airplane or helicopter like safety wire have to be replace or not. If none of that things can be find, then other parts must be resolve- find the corrosion parts, clean and fix it.

My group, have checking on boeing727 left landing gear and we found 2parts -turnbuckles. That turnbuckles safety wiring must be replaced with the new one .The tools that we used is safety wiring pliers, long nose pliers. The wire for turnbuckles that we used is wire 1/32 inch diameter.

Helicopter- Check the corrosion,Clean and reinstall the push pull rod and chains back to its place

Next day, we have made check on the jackscrew whether the jack screw have the corrosion or not. We open on each part and check any suspicious or dent on the gear of the jackscrew. Oh ya, know the jackscrew? It’s the moving part(connect to the hydraulic pump through the lever ) that does make elevator or flaps moving up or down depending on the aircraft. The a/c that my team does it is on the HS125.
