easy question

Handsome and pretty


some simple question to refresh your memory. To me, the simplest the question, the more difficult it seems to be when suddenly question by someone in work place or during interview, esp for those who pass out at LM (cheh..... like confirm like that ^_^) when you are blur, these simple stuff can be forgotten


for those who don't know bout this, keep in mind, can be quite handy for you. for those who know, don't say it's is stupid question to those who don't know @_@



1. If you have been given a GPU with one receptacle, how do you power up the aircraft for cargo loading


PAX: connect to EXT #1

Frgh: use APU generator, alternatively ask for another GPU, as we need the EXT #2 to power up the Main Deck Cargo Loading



2. So, for Pax, which switch do you need to switch on for cargo loading?


Pax: not necessary to switch on Ext PWR, as GHB power up automatically with Good Power from GPU after connected

Frgh: switch on the Ext #1 (or APU GEN #1), and make sure the Ext #2 is AVAIL (or APU Gen #2)



3. when do you need to power up the aircraft prior to dispatch?


Pax: 2 hours before departure (i.e. Aircond and GPU/APU GEN)

Frgh: 3 hours to power up (means connect the GPU for cargo loading) and 45 min for aircond



4. if you have PIREP windows crack, and is call for change by pilot, how are you going to change at transit bay?


Please refer AMM 56-11-01 for the inspection, as there is a long list of stuff to inspect. The main point is the structure layer of the windshield. depends on situation, it can be dispatch even though there is a crack on the windshield, just refer to the AMM as mention



5. then how do you inspect the external surface at transit bay?


LAN LAN, cal AFM, consult him. If he sign off, have a good day, If no go, LAN LAN LAN LAN, tow aircraft to Bay 206. As this is the only place that we have the special steps for windshield inspection/change

DO NOT say use NORDCO, this is not allowed on any bay as it is dangerous, unless you need some coffee at the cozy place from quality department ^_^



6. if you have a dent with a crack on the aircraft, how??


if it is a non-pressurised area, refer SRM

if it is a PRESSURISED area, it is not go, no need to refer SRM, straight away ground the aircraft, rectify it.



7. HUH!!! sure or not, this is the only aircraft in our company to fly to Timbuktu leh?!?!


yes sir, this is because during pressurisation, the crack can be propagate or expand. we must always think of the safety of the passenger



8. then how long before departure you need to initiate the aircraft change/ground the aircraft??



at least 2 hours before (if less than 2 hour, you will have a lecture session by your AFM, follow by DE, follow by Quality, may be will give a Latte during the session. If you don't like Latte, can buy Cappucino ^_^)



(Extra Note/Question on top of the previous question Alvin posted bout the structure limit)



9. then what if you find a dent without crack?? it is out of limit, and it is flying to Abeche??? pilot die die wanna fly there as he miss his parent in Abeche??

Sir, depends on the Flying Hour that indicate in the SRM. Since he miss his parent so much in Abeche, and we got no time to rectify the problem we can release the aircraft base on the limited flying hour/cycles as indicate on the NOTE of the SRM limit.



With this, we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. We let the pilot reunion with his parent and dispatch the aircraft safely. Anyway, Sir, where is Abeche?? (KNN, never study Geography ah, Abeche also don't know, it is the capital of Chad, Africa) Sorry sir, i don't have so much crap time to analyse Africa country like you, i only have time for our company businness, which is SIA and other customer (-_-)!!! @#$%!#$!


and sir, why you always give me the situation where all the aircraft is departing soon or only aircraft to fly, why always like this 1? i thought SIA have a lot of aircraft?? (who is the 1 who interview you now?? so just shut up) yes sir [ (-_-)!!! #$%!#^$#]

FYI, go find yourself where is Abeche, AND, don't take it too hard, all the add on crap thing is not from interview, it is just to release your stress, don't be so stress out, relax......

for NO. 9.

if dent, no crack, SRM notes say can desptach aircraft for certain flight hrs/cycles. But it's out of SRM limit??

so, raise DA ???

Thanks for the info

how u determine pressurise or non-pressurise area?

to elektra,

for the no.9 case is special one, so i ask how ruey already. he said is not for all dent at the skin. some dent still can fly if is out of limit but it will indicate in the "note". so you still need to refer to the srm for the dent to dispatch the A/C.

no need DA cause is under SRM.

for ZANA,
the pressure are is the area that between the two bulkhead. for non- pressure area is the other area, like the wing, horizontal stabilizer.

so if the skin have cover the pressure area(include the wheel well area), it will become more critical.
