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.)

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.

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.
