I am guessing here, but could this be related to propeller torque effect? Usually the propeller is turning clockwise, as viewed from the pilot. This imparts a tendency for the aircraft to rotate counterclockwise (i.e. left wing downwards). This rotation must be counteracted by moving the...

"Longeron" is originally a French word, and the interesting part of this is that in today's French terminology, "longeron" is used to describe what in English is known as "spar" (e.g. longeron avant = front wing spar).

I am no expert, but do you not normally test either 12 sec (for minor appliances) OR 60 sec (major appliances)? And secondly; are you not supposed to test three samples? Maybe the result of the third test could clarify... Fell free to enlighten me, if I am wrong...

Do you want a leaking fuselage?? Do not experiment, repair per SRM!!

There have been several threads relating to the use of freeze plugs, e.g. see thread2-211925. I do not which a/c you are working on, but if it´s Boeing you could look in SRM 51-20-XX. In Addition, the study material related to the Boeing course: Structural Repair for Engineers - Part 1, offers...

What about going the Boeing doc. way? Check out this thread: thread2-65144 Citing: "The Boeing D-590 Parts Standards manual lists, in the individual listing for each standard, the manufacturer's part number for each of their products that are qualified to that standard (the hiloks, that is...

Any advice given would depend on what you mean by "management of airlines"? Your current career path might not be bad at all, and could eventually lead to a role as a maintenance manager... There are obviously many other options, depending on which department (in an airline) you want to work...

I do not think that you will find this data in the SRM. From what you write it seems like you do not have access to the Boeing service docs (portal)... If you do, you could search for the BACB30HD standard, and the shear strength would be given. Alternatively, you could try to get a copy of the...

I would propose to send a query to Boeing, maybe they are available for purchase? You could ask the operator for a copy of the right IPC... BR

Hi TM Maybe you are looking for one of these docs: D415U001 747-400 Galley Standard Interface and Design Requirements D6-55441 Galley/Interior Furnishing Structural Requirements (for 737, 747, 757, 767, 777) If you can get hold of an applicable IPC, you should be able to find the P/N of the...

I think it is perfectly normal that you "take what you can get" in the beginning of your career. I am sure that your current work experience will help you get closer to the position you are really looking for. In fact, this happened to me too. Had to work 1.5-2 years doing something "less"...

Do not know what you are working on, but if you try google: interference-to-noise ratio (INR), the "hole" could be a spectrum hole?

You do not need to raise a TISR at Boeing, for this kind of questions. Try to contact the Boeing field rep for your area. Some details are only shown on eng. dwgs and if the operator is a tier 1, then they should have access to these...

Standard ways of fixing decorative mouldings to composite panels in a/c interiors are generally by means of ball catches or dual lock. Dual lock is an easy way out when the weigt is low, and it is quite strong...
