Aircraft Maintenance Technician Interview Questions and Answers

Lift is created by the wings of an aircraft through the Bernoulli's principle and Newton's third law of motion.

• Air flows faster over the curved upper surface of the wing, creating low pressure, while the air below the wing creates high pressure, resulting in lift.

• The angle of attack of the wing also affects the amount of lift generated.

• The shape and size of the wing, as well as the speed and density of the air, also play a role in lift generation.

• Examples of devices that crea...read more

Angle of incidence is the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the relative wind.

• It is an important factor in determining the lift and drag of an aircraft.

• It is usually measured in degrees.

• A higher angle of incidence results in more lift but also more drag.

• The angle of incidence can be adjusted by changing the position of the wing on the fuselage.

• For example, a glider has a high angle of incidence to generate lift at low speeds.

Aircraft maintenance technicians must be familiar with different zones of the aircraft, component replacement procedures as per AMM, and knowledge of aircraft systems.

• Familiarity with different zones of the aircraft such as fuselage, wings, tail, and engines

• Understanding of component replacement procedures outlined in the Aircraft Maintenance Manual (AMM)

• Knowledge of various aircraft systems including electrical, hydraulic, and avionics systems

• Ability to troubleshoot and diag...read more

The procedure of wheel replacement involves jacking up the aircraft, removing the old wheel, installing the new wheel, and performing necessary safety checks.

• Jack up the aircraft using appropriate equipment

• Remove the old wheel carefully to avoid damage

• Install the new wheel securely and according to manufacturer's instructions

• Perform necessary safety checks before lowering the aircraft
