equipment typically found at an airport that is used to service the aircraft

between flights.

Cabin Service

ensure passenger comfort, clean cabins, replenish

onboard consumables.

Catering

unloading unused food & beverages, reloading fresh food

and beverages for both passengers and crew.

Ramp Service

This includes a variety of services on the ramp or

apron, including aircraft marshalling, towing, lavatory drainage, luggage handling, Hydraulic mules, etc.

Air-data Tester

are specialized instruments used to verify and calibrate

the pitot-static system of an aircraft which monitors critical flight instruments such as altimeters, airspeed indicators, rate of climb indicators, Mach meters, and air data computers.

An Analog Multimeter

a device used to measure limited electrical quantities such as Current, Voltage and Resistance etc.

Digital Multimeter

a device used to measure multiple electrical quantities such as Current, Voltage, Resistance, Capacitance, Diode values, Transistors etc.

Insulation Resistance Test Set

uses a small portable instrument called Megger insulation tester. It gives you a direct reading of insulation resistance in ohms or megaohms.

Underwater Locator Beacon

is a device fitted to aviation flight recorders such as the Cockpit Voice recorder (CVR), the Flight Data recorder

(FDR) as well as to the aircraft fuselage

(ULD)

Bonding meter

is a measuring instrument that use digital

techniques to measure and display small values of resistance.

Non-Destructive Testers

Liquid Penetrant

Liquid Penetrant

is used to detect super small cracks or discontinuities open to the surface which may not be evident by normal visual inspection.

Magnetic Particle

process for detecting surface and shallow subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, cobalt, and some of their alloys.

Eddy Current

making use of electromagnetic induction to detect and

characterize surface and sub-surface flaws in conductive materials.

Ultrasonic

is a powerful, effective form of nondestructive testing in aviation maintenance.

Radiography

process widely used for the detection of cracks and

damage in aircraft structures.

Visual Inspection

this is the most common form of examination and consist of viewing the are with the eye, aided by magnifying glass, borescope, light source, etc. Most defects are detected by visual inspection in aircraft maintenance.

Sort

Distinguish between necessary and unnecessary items. Remove the latter

Set in place

Enforce the dictum ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’

Shine

Clean up the workplace and look for ways to keep it clean

Standardize

Maintain and monitor adherence to the first three Ss.
