UNIT 1. AIR CONDITIONING. OXYGEN
B739, en-route, east of Denver CO USA, 2012 (On 31 July 2012, a Boeing 737­900 struck a single large bird whilst descending to land at Denver in day VMC and passing approximately 6000 feet aal, sustaining damage to the radome, one pitot head and the vertical stabiliser. The flight crew declared an emergency and continued the approach with ATC assistance to an uneventful landing. The bird involved was subsequently identified as a White Faced Ibis, a species which normally has a weight around 500 gm but can exceptionally reach a weight of 700 gm. The hole made in the radome was 60 cm x 30 cm.) B763, vicinity London Heathrow UK, 1998 (On 1 September 1998, a Boeing 767-300 had a bird strike with a large flock of geese moments before touchdown at London Heathrow airport, causing substantial damage.) C172, McKinney TX USA, 2003 (On 8 July 2003, a Cessna 172S on an instruc­tional flight hit a vulture which caused significant structural damage to the left wing. During the attempted forced landing which followed, control of the aircraft was lost and the aircraft crashed into terrain near McKinney TX USA.)
Engine Damage
A320, vicinity Auckland New Zealand, 2012 (On 20 June 2012, th e right V2500 engine compressor of an Airbus A320 suddenly stalled on final approach. The crew reduced the right engine thrust to flight idle and completed the planned landing uneventfully. Extensive engine damage was subsequently discovered and the investigation conducted attributed this to continued use of the engine in ac­cordance with required maintenance procedures following bird ingestion during the previous sector. No changes to procedures for deferral of a post bird strike boroscope inspection for one further flight in normal se rvice were proposed but it was noted that awareness of operations under temporary alleviations was i m­portant.) A320, vicinity LaGuardia New York USA, 2009 (On 15 January 2009, a United Airlines Airbus A320-200 approaching 3000 feet agl in day VMC following take-off from New York La Guardia experienced an almost complete loss of thrust in both engines after encountering a flock of Canada Geese . In the ab­sence of viable alternatives, the aircraft was successfully ditched in the Hudson River about. Of the 150 occupants, one flight attend ant an d fo ur pass engers were seriously injured and the aircraft was substantially damaged. The subsequent in­vestigation led to the issue of 35 Safety Recommendations mainly relating to ditching, bird strike and low level dual en gine fai lure.)

AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
A333, vicinity Orlando FL USA, 2013 (On 19 January 2013, a Rolls Royce Trent 700-powered Virgin Atlantic Airbus A330-300 hit some medium sized birds shortly after take off from Orlando, sustaining airframe impact damage and ingesting one bird into each engine. Damage was subsequently found to both en­gines although only one indicated sufficient malfunction - a complete loss of oil pressure - for an in-flight shutdown to be required. After declaration of a MAYDAY, the return to land overweight was co mpleted uneventfully. The in­vestigation identified an issue with the response of the oil pressure detection and display system to high engine vibration events and recommended modification.) B703, Sydney Australia, 1969 (On 1 December 1969, a Boeing 707 -320 being operated by Pan Am and making a daylight take off from Sydney, Australia ran into a flock of gulls just after V1 and prior to rotati on and after a compressor stall and observed partial loss of thrust on engine 2 (only), the aircraft command­er elected to reject the take off. Despite rapid action to initiate maximum braking and the achievement of full reverse thrust on all engines including No 2, this re­sulted in an overrun of the end of the runway by 170m and substantial aircraft damage. A full emergency evacuation was carried out with no injuries to any of the occupants. There was no fire.) B734, Amsterdam Netherlands, 2010 (1) (On 6 June 2010 , a Boeing 737-400 be­ing operated by Atlas Blue, a wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Air Maroc, on a passenger flight from Amsterdam to Nador, Morocco encountered a flock of geese just after becoming airborne from runway 18L in day VMC close to sunset and lost most of the thrust on the left engine following bird ingestion. A MAYDAY was declared and a minimal s ingl e engin e cl imb out was follo wed by very low level visual manoeuvring not consistently in accordance with ATC ra­dar headings before the aircraft landed back on runway 18R just over 9 minutes later.) B738, Djalaluddin Indonesia, 2013 (On 6 August 2013, a Boeing 737-800 en­countered cows ahead on the runway after landing normally in daylight follow­ing an uneventful approach and was unable to avoid colliding with them at high speed and as a result departed the runway to the left. Parts of the airport peri m e­ter fencing were found to have been either missing or inadequately maintained for a significant period prior to the accident despite the existence of an airport bird and animal hazard management plan. Corrective action was taken following the accident.) https://skybrary.aero

THE FUEL SYSTEM
- stores and distributes fuel for running the engines and the APU.
- consists of:
tank No. 1 and No. 2 (integral wingtanks)
center tank (three cavities)
Fuel Vent System
Pressure Fueling System
Fuel Feed System and
Indicating and Warning System
General System Features The volume of each tank is larger than the full tank fuel capacity to allow for ex­pansion and vent space. The surge tanks are normally empty and have a capacity of 30 U.S. Gallons. Fuel is loaded on airplane from a ground source through a fueling receptacle in the pressure fueling station. The tanks can be refueled sim­ultaneously or one after another. Fuel can also be loaded into tanks No. 1 and No. 2 through overwing fueling ports. The wingtanks No. 1 and No. 2 have to be refueled at firs t , unti l th e nor mal maximum capacity. The remainder fuel must be filled into the center tank.
Operation Electric motor-driven pumps and fuel lines deliver fuel from any tank to one or both engines. Fuel from boost pumps can also be delivered through a defueling

valve (manual operated on ground only) into fueling manifold for removal and tank- to-tank transfer. A Fuel Dump System is not installed. A Fuel Scavenge System transfered the residual fuel in the center tank into tank No. 1 by a jet pump when the last center tank boost pump switch has been switched to off. Fuel quantity indicators in the flight compartment, and fueling quantity indicators at the pressure fueling station, ind icate the quan tity of fu el on th e airpl ane. Measur­ing sticks are installed on the underside of the tank No. 1 and No. 2. only. They can be used as an alternate method to determine the fuel quantity. Fuel low pres­sure lights indicate low engine boost pu mp outlet pressure and a fuel temperature indicator shows the fuel temperature in tank No. 1 on the forward overhead pan­el. The APU is supplied by a additional DC operated boost pump from fuel tank No. 1 during starting.
Tanks description
Integral fuel tanks, No. 1, No. 2 and center, store fuel required to run the engines and auxiliary power unit. A surge tank, outboard of each wing tank, co llects fuel overflow and includes equipment for venting the fuel tanks to overboard. The main tank No. 1 and main tank No. 2 are located in the interspace area of each wing. The center tank is contained entirely within the fuselage. The surge tanks are extensions of the main tanks.

Primary wing structure is used for the airplane fuel tanks. The tanks are located between the front and rear spars and between the upper and lower wing skin. Solid “tank end” ribs closes the ends of each tank, while all other wing ribs act as fuel baffles to reduce fuel slosh. The center tank is divided into three cavities by spanwise beams. All fuel tanks are fuel tight. Close metal -to-metal fit of all parts forms the basic seal. Sealing compounds and se aled fasteners ar e used on all joi nts to complete the fluid tight seal. Two of the wing ribs contain a series of baffle check valves to prevent fuel swapping within the tank and fuel flow away from the boost pumps during flight. Access panels on the wing lower surface provide access to each tank. Access openings in the tank ribs are provided for areas which are not directly accessible through the access panels. In the left air condition bay is a panel installed in o r­der to access the center tank. A surge tank contains any fuel overfl ow from the tanks and provides the vending. A drain line allows the fuel overflow to drain back into the center tank. A vent scoop is installed on the bottom skin of the surge tank. The vent scoop provides a venting of the surge tank and a positive tank pressure during flight. In case of overfuelling, the fuel will flow through the vent scoop out of the surge tank on the ground. In the access panels 1, 4, 6, 8 and 10 of tank No. 1 and No. 2 are drip sticks installed for an alternate fuel quantity measuring.

Exercise 4. Read the text about fuel vent system and complete it with the words from the box. Translate the text.
FUEL VENT SYSTEM
The fuel vent system prevents (1) to the tank st ructure by providing posi ­tive (2) of all fuel tanks, regardless of airplane attitude. During (3), the system also helps to (4) fuel evaporation and assists the fuel (5) pumps by providing a small positive pressure head on the fuel.
28
UNIT 2. FUEL
The components associated with the (6) vent system are located inside the
fuel tanks. Vent (7) are located on the bottom skin of surge tanks. Exercise 5. POSSIBILITY, PROBABILITY, NECESSITY, CONDITIONS POSSIBILITY Use can + infinitive to express possibility. (It is usually better than “it is possible
to/that...”.) Can expresses physical or technical possibility, capacity etc.
For example: The A320 can carry 172 passengers. Coaxial cables can transmit numerous messages. In the event of an engine failure, the remaining engine can power all the hydrau-
lic systems through the PTU. The APU can be started up to 25,000 feet. PROBABILITY May is used to indi cate that an action or ev ent could occur (happen). Could is
also used. In a technical context, this applies more to natural phenomena,
unplanned technical incidents, failures, etc. For ex ample: In dense cloud, ice may form on the wings. If there is a lot of traffic on arrival, the aircr aft may have to hold before landing. If the washer is perished (worn, old), the union may leak. The assembly may be repaired before overhaul. Hot oil could cause injury. N.B. In everyday English, can and may are often interchangeable. In Simplified
English, use only can. NECESSITY
Must, shall and have to are commonly used to express necessity (Do not use: “It
is necessary to/that”.) e.g.
If the tire is deflated the mechanic must remove it. When open on the ground, the landing gear bay doors shall be safetied (locked
by a safety pin or sleeve). During refueling, fire fighting equipment has to be available (ready for use).
Non-approved lubric ant s shall not be used. N.B. In technical and legal English, shall does not indicate the future, but an idea
of necessity. Shall = must. The adjectives mandatory and compulsory
are often employed in official documents, e.g. Airworthiness Authority (i.e. FAA, DGAC, CAA, etc.) approval is mandatory. It is compulsory to inform the Captain of any dangerous cargo.
29
AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE
Direct prohibitions take the following form:
It is forbidden to smoke during refueling. Smoking during refueling is prohibited.
Should expresses a recommendation rather than a necessity:
Chocks should be placed under the main gear wheels during a night stop.
Need expresses a requirement, obligation, necessity:
The filter needs to be replaced every 500 hours. The mechanics need a special tool for the job. CONDITIONS Conditions are usually associated with if and should. In the event of and in case of also introduce conditional situation s. In most technical documents, only the basic form of the conditional is employed, i.e. present simple + present simp le or present simple + future, e.g.
If the normal servovalve fails, the alternate servovalve takes over. Should the normal servovalve fail, the alternate servovalve will take over. In the event of normal servovalve failure, the alternate servovalve takes/will take over.
In case о/normal servovalve failure the alternate servovalve will take over. With minor variants of construction, these expressions are interchangeable. SOME MORE EXAMPLES If one logic is not in accordance with the o ther, the TO CONFIG WARN failure message is triggered. (Condition) The outer tank can hold 3,500 kg. (Capacity) Water may accumulate in the lower fuselage. (Probability) When the demand for cooling air decreases, the Ram Air Outlet must be closed. (Necessity) The scavenge filter should be hand tightened. (Recommendation)
Exercise 6. Choose CAN, MAY, MUST, SHOULD or NEED to complete these sentences, as in the example:
The tanks MUST be drained before the first flight.
1. The handpump … pressurize the yellow system.
2. The tires … be damaged by a hard landing.
3. Only original parts … be used, but approved equivalent parts …be installed.
4. A safety pin … be inserted on the ground.
5. Ice … form on the wings.
6. Bird strikes … damage the fan blades.
