MY DAILY WEEK SIXTEEN

INSPECTION OF FLIGHT CONTROL CABLES 


1º We checked with the control lever that the elevator was working. 

2º With a calibrated tool called protractor, we check the up and down degrees of the elevator. 

3º We measure the length of some bars that adjust the tension of the cables called pushrod. 

4º We check the elevator stops, the function of the stop is to delimit the elevator movement range, the elevator must not go down or up more than the allowed degrees. 

5º We check the tension of the cables, according to the ambient temperature, the cables will have a certain tension. 



As the tension of the cables was not correct, we adjusted the tension with a device called turnbuckle, each cable has a turnbuckle to adjust the tension.  



MY WEEKEND!!

On Saturday I was helping to pick up debris at a friend's construction site along with 3 other people. 


Then we went to pay for the debris, 5 tons 250€ we have to pay to recycle and it is very funny because the company that receives the money for managing your waste, shreds your waste and sells it, so they receive money twice. 

As I was bored while they were doing the contract for the waste management, I climbed a huge mountain of shredded waste and took a picture of the view. 


To thank us for the work, he treated us to a seafood paella he ordered from a rice restaurant called: ARROSERIA NIMOS

It wasn't bad, but I've tasted better paella, and it was also very salty. 



Baking Sunday! I made 3 sweets, a "coca de cuarto" and two healthy sweets without sugar and "realfooding" brownie and almond nougat. 




The best, the "coca de cuarto" which is the only thing that contains carcinogenic sugar hahahaha, But the healthy sweets were also very good and do not harm your health.

JET ENGINE

TURBOJET The basic componets are still the compressor, combustor, and turbine. The turbojet gets its propulsive power from reaction to the flow of hot gases. Air enters the inlet and ts pressure is increased by the compressor. Fuel is added in the combustor and the expansion created by heat forces the turbine wheel to rotate. The turbine in turn drives the compressor. The energy remaining downstream of the turbine in the tailpipe accelerates into the atmosphere and creates the reaction we refer to as thrust. TURBOFAN The turbofa, in effect, is a ducted, multi-blade propeller driven by a gas turbine engine. This fan procedures a pressure ratio on the order of 2:1 or two atmospheres of compression. Generrally, turbofan contain 20 to 40 fixed pitch blades. They were developed to provide a compromise between the best features of the turbejet type cruise speed capability and yet retains some of the short field takeoff capability of the  turboprop.

D-CHECK

Aircraft maintenance   checks are periodic inspections that have to be done on all commercial and civil aircraft after a certain amount of time or usage. Military aircraft normally follow specific maintenance programmes which may, or may not, be similar to those of commercial and civil operators The D check, sometimes known as a "heavy maintenance visit" (HMV), is by far the most comprehensive and demanding check for an airplane. This check occurs approximately every 6-10 years. It is a check that more or less takes the entire airplane apart for inspection and overhaul. Even the paint may need to be completely removed for complete inspection of the fuselage metal skin. Such a check can generally take up to 50,000 man-hours, and 2 months to complete depending on the number of technicians involved. It also requires the most space of all maintenance checks, and as such must be performed at a suitable maintenance base. The requirements and the tremendous effort involved in

MY FAVORITE PLANE

Imagen
BOEING 737  My favourite aircraft has always been the Boeing 737, the quintessential Boeing model. It has beautiful aesthetics, perfect lines like an eagle. The last model B737 Max was defective and this made me very sad.  Instead of redesigning the plane, they decided to add software that would avoid the problem and because they wanted to save money, they lost innocent lives and world confidence.  Is a short to medium range, twin-engine, jet, narrow-body airliner manufactured and developed by the American company Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The Boeing 737 is the highest selling turbofan passenger aircraft in aviation history. This model has been manufactured without interruption by Boeing since 1967. It is the most widely used model on domestic flights in the United States. The Boeing 737-100 was christened on 17 January 1967 and made its first flight on 9 April of the same year.  Lufthansa inaugurated its services with this aircraft on February 10,
