What dangers go along with applying and removing external power?

Back 9

Ensure all A/C switches and circuit breakers are in position to recieve power. Inspect power cables for corrosion and breaks. Ensure the power source is secured prior to application and removal. If using a mobile power cart insure it is chocked and facing away from the a/c.

Front 10

What are the danger areas during APU operations?

Back 10

The dangers associated with the APU are due to the high velocity exhaust from the APU and the high temp of the exhaust. the exhaust temp can reach 350 degrees with air velocity of approx. 142 mph.

Front 11

What precautions apply to performing maintenance on ordnance loaded a/c?

Back 11

Maintenance shall not be performed on a/c loaded with weapons. servicing and minor maintenance to ready an a/c for the next launch may be conducted with the following restrictions - weapons safed to maximum degree

Front 12

What does a WEAPONS LOADED placard or a control stick cover is displayed prominently in cockpit mean?

Back 12

if a WEAPONS LOADED placard/control stick cover is displayed in the cockpit the a/c maintenance/ servicing requiring power is limited to - refueling, replacement & checkout of comm & nav equipment, engine turnup for checkout (low power), fight control & hyd system checks.

Front 13

What are the precautions that must be taken while handling graphite or carbon/epoxy composite material?

Back 13

Always wear a respirator and close weave cotton gloves.

Front 14

How many tie-down points does the EA-18 have and where are they located?

Back 14

There are 12 tie down rings used on the a/c with a centerline tank/pod installed. with the a/c on jacks 2 added tie down rings are provided on the jacking beam.
Tie down ring locations are -
1 & 2 - NLG
3 FWD fuselage in DR 16
4 OTBD side of L MLG
5 OTBD side of R MLG
6 & 8 INBD side of L MLG
7 & 9 INBD side of R MLG
10 & 11 under wing in DR 107L/R
12 AFT fuselage DR 164

Front 15

What are the hazards associated with the canopy static buildup?

Back 15

High Voltage (100,000 vlts) static electrical charge may build up and be stored in the windshield and canopy during flight or when the a/c is on deck and exposed to prolonged high winds.

Front 16

What is the purpose of the Hydraulic Fluid Contamination Analysis?

Back 16

Contaminate measurement methods aid in determining fluid contaim level, ensuring high level of fluid purity on Class 5 a/c and Class 3 GSE

Front 17

What is the purpose of a tactical paint scheme?

Back 17

Lessen the probability of visual & photographic detection

Front 18

What is the purpose of NA 01-1A-509?

Back 18

Provides info on materials and procedures to prevent, control, & repair corrosion damage to a/c and avionics on land or sea.

Front 19

What is the purpose of NA A1-F18EF-IETM?

Back 19

Provides information to support the diagnostics, maintenance & repair of the EA-18G and F/A-18E/F a/c systems

Front 20

What are the 3 modes of wheel brake operations

Back 20

Normal, Emergency, and Parking

Front 21

Why does the EA-18 use composite airframe material?

Back 21

To limit weight, increase strength, & decrease effect of corrosion attack.

Front 22

What is the purpose of the Aileron system?

Back 22

inflight - asymmetrically to produce roll motion
takeoff/landing (w/ flaps set at 1/2 or full) - deflect symmetrically w/ TEF up to 45 degrees.

Front 23

What is the purpose of the Leading Edge Flaps?

Back 23

inflight - deflect asymmetrically to aid ailerons in producing roll
takeoff/landing - deflectsymmetrically to change lift

Front 24

What is the purpose of Trailing Edge Flaps?

Back 24

inflight - independently deflect asymmetrically to aid ailerons in producing roll
takeoff/landing - deflect symmetrically to change lift

Front 25

What is the purpose of the Stabilators?

Back 25

Deflect symmetrically to produce pitch motion & asymmetrically to produce roll motion also provides pitch compensation during selection of LEX spoilers

Front 26

WHat is the purpose of the LEX spoilers?

Back 26

provide speed brake when commanded by pilot at speeds less the MACH 1.5, provides high nose down pitch movement when transitioning form AOA with an aggressive nose down maneuver

Front 27

What components are included in Hydraulic System 1?

Back 27

provides fluid pressure to primary flight controls, either as primary system or back up source.

Front 28

What components are included in Hydraulic System 2?

Back 28

provides hyd power for primary flight controls either as a primary or backup source, also supplies pressure to all other non-flight control systems.

Front 29

What is the APU accumlator?

Back 29

Gas charge cylinder provides required fluid pressure to the APU start motor and emergency hyd systems.

Front 30

Descirbe the basic operation of the Electronic Flight Control System?

Back 30

The system is made up of 2 flight control computers, control surface servo actuators, air data and inertial sensors and control sensors. The system also includes a built-in test (BIT) to provide failure warning and fault isolation. The F/C computers combine input w/ air data & inertial inputs& provide electrical signals to servo actuators which move the control surfaces the amount/direction required.
