Aviation industry deals with more than thousands of people and also spending millions of funds in order to meet the requirements, satisfy the necessities of people and to produce state-of-the-art aircraft. With its objective it is significant to consider the hazards involved and bring out an output with the least extent and under control risks to prevent any loss in terms of life and even profit.
In this study, the aim is to provide information and knowledge more on aircraft maintenance safety precautions and procedures in dealing with ground handling, general maintenance like working at height, working in confined spaces, moving suspended loads, aircraft refuelling or de-fuelling, ground de-icing/anti-icing and so on.
Task 1
D. Give detailed information about the safety precaution about the types and use of fire extinguisher equipment
Fire extinguishers are portable fire equipment which plays a vital role in any place since there are under circumstances that fire fighters are not absolutely essential wherein extinguishers are capable to fight the fire.
There are different classes of fire and extinguishers which depends on what is on fire. This is important to familiarize with to be able to know what type of extinguisher should be used in case of fire.
Class A Fires are the ordinary combustibles such as paper, wood, fabric. This is best extinguished solely by water. Water can only be used for class A fires, not for any other classes of fires like electrical fire, for instance, it can cause the fire to spread and make it worse.
Nowadays there are new extinguishers provided for this class which offers less conductibility.
Class B Fires are the flammable liquids such as petroleum, alcohol, oil. This clas...

Task 3
Aircraft Fuelling - https://www.iaa.ie/media/Air_fuelling1.pdf
Thousands upon thousands of acres are lost in forest fires every year. We always hear about the dramatic losses caused by forest fires and are often concerned by them. There are so many horrible effects from fires and most of them affect so many people. Studies have shown that out of all of the different methods to decrease fire damage, prescribed burns are the most affective. Many people would argue that they are not as affective because they cause so many health problems. Although that is a very important view and may seem valid, those health issues are not as extreme as one might think. People should look at the majority of the benefits form prescribed burns and they will see how affective and important they are. Prevention is the key to society these days and is definitely an important factor in saving lives. If more lives can be saved as well as land and wildlife, prescribed burns may be the better way to go about forest fires. Although, prescribed burns are better for the environment in order to prevent drastic forest fires, severe damage to timber and extreme death of wildlife; some people feel it affects the health of a firefighter too much and it causes too many long term effects.
Handling and operating an airplane comes with great risk, but these risks that are present are handled with very different attitudes and dealt with in different ways depending on the environment the pilots are in.
Firefighters are more than friends. You can't fight fires with friends. To fight fires you need a brotherhood. The men and women of the fire service across the globe consider each other family, this is one of the grand traditions of the fire department. Firefighters are constantly looking out for one another, thinking about the things they do and how it may affect the other’s lives and safety. Life safety is of the highest priority in the business of fire rescue. To achieve a safety standard there are many tasks that fire personnel are expected to carry out, for both a personal and a team related purpose. One of these tasks is the daily inspection of the fire apparatus upon arrival to the fire station. This task is with most certainty the most essential process that fire personnel are responsible for in order to get through the shift safely and efficiently.
In the 1700’ the revolutionary war was occurring and fire was a huge threat to the colonist. Houses in urban areas were built really close together. Making it easier for the spark to spread, and they spread fast. Fires were being used every day at this time since there was no electricity, they used it for the warming of the house, candles for lighting and cooking. Fires were sometimes left neglected and then the fires became devastating because the people neglected to take care of it and prevent it from spreading. In 1788 the Virginia legislature passed an act to authorize the establishment of fire companies, after losing their original building to a fire, twice. This act made it possible for firefighting groups to form who responsible for their own equipment. They had fire engines and many
There are many types of aircraft hazards that ARFF personnel will encounter and/or must be familiar with at an airport. ARFF personnel must know and understand the different types of aircraft hazards. Aircraft accidents will have potential hazards that involve fluids, structures, and components which can all burn at high temperatures. ARFF personnel should always avoid inhalation or ingestion of smoke, fumes, and particles of a...
The fire service has many years of traditions. Many of those traditions are good. However, some of those traditions are hurting and in some cases lead to the death of fire fighters. After finishing my research paper, I hope brings to attention that changes are needed in the fire service. The audience I am reaching out to are my fell fire fighters and fire administration. After reading, will look at current policies and procedures, and fire tactics on the fire ground. Fire administration will take the appropriate action to make the fire service more discipline. I will be taking an investigation look into different incidents that have accorded on fire ground scenes. Could have the injury and or death be avoided?
The Roman Emperor Augustus is credited with instituting a corps of firefighter vigilantes in 24 BC when checking for fires was developed. Firefighters or what they called them (watchmen) sounded an alarm if they saw a fire somewhere. To put out the fire they used buckets of water, and threw the water directly at the fire. They also used a tool called the axe to free people from a building that was on fire, and tried to free them using the axe. For major fires they used long hooks with ropes attached to them to bring down a burning building and take out the fire on the ground. Sometimes they used explosives to bring down a burning building as well and put water on it on the ground.
In conclusion, I know that from this day on, mechanical error can be prevented by keeping planes maintained a lot better on land so they won’t crash in the air. After those problems are changed, the percent of plane crashes should go down by at least half percent.
As part of the process of developing an effective preventive maintenance program, it is also needed to change the whole organization mind-set, about maintenance. There are several steps involved in the implementation of preventive main...
The future of passenger aircraft and their manufactures has an amazing outlook. Every year the brightest minds in aviation compile the greatest technological advances towards creating the safest and most economical aircraft on the planet. No detail is over looked, and the bottom dollar is the all controlling factor. From private aircraft to public aircraft, space exploration and beyond, the future is bright for the passenger aircraft market, and everyone who purchases air travel should be excited to see how industry unfolds.
Firefighters are the first person called out at a point of explosion or traffic accidents to protect life. Firefighters work under very dangerous conditions they protects others life by putting themselves in danger. They are the person who needs physical strength, stamina, good body physique. When talking about fire, it’s basically divided into two main parts:
... effective as required, so we used dry powder and foam to cut the oxygen, then the fire got under control so we sprayed the water to cool the fire, unfortunately our water tanks was about to get empty, so we looked for a hydrant to fill them, after that we sprayed all the fire and then we were able to put the fire down, after 2 hours of fighting the fire.
As the development of aviation industry grows, more and more aircraft crashes occur. There are many reasons that lead to aircraft crashes, but one of them, is because of improper aircraft maintenance. Why is proper aircraft maintenance so important? Proper aircraft maintenance is critical in order to keep the aircraft can function properly, every aircraft part is in good condition and ensure the safety of pilots and passengers. Proper maintenance has many parts. The most common part is inspections, which pilots do them every day; the main part is overhaul and repair of an aircraft; and maintenance documentation is another important part of aircraft maintenance which improper maintenance documentation has caused many incidents.
others burn out very quickly or are not able to be burned at all. No two fires
This term paper reviews the three most common catagories of aviation accident causes and factors. The causes and factors that will be discussed are human performance, environmental, and the aircraft itself. Although flying is one of the safest means of transportation, accidents do happen. It is the investigators job to determine why the accident happened, and who or what was at fault. In the event of an accident, either one or all of these factors will be determined as the cause of the accident. Also discussed will be one of the most tradgic plane crashes in aviation history and the human factors involved.
