00:58.416 --> 01:00.471
corrosion control . The video you're

01:00.471 --> 01:02.582
about to see will help you , aviators

01:02.582 --> 01:04.989
and air crew figure out corrosion

01:04.989 --> 01:06.933
control , specifically unscheduled

01:06.933 --> 01:08.933
corrosion control , and how you can

01:08.933 --> 01:10.989

01:11.120 --> 01:13.287
When in doubt , if you see corrosion ,

01:13.400 --> 01:15.830
write it up and let them fix it soon .

01:16.080 --> 01:18.302
This will help us maintain our aircraft

01:18.302 --> 01:20.413
and extend the life of our aircraft .

01:20.413 --> 01:22.760
And keep us in war fighting combat

01:22.760 --> 01:24.816
readiness . Thank you for everything

01:24.816 --> 01:25.982
you do . God bless .

01:33.500 --> 01:36.019
Aircrew walk around flight inspection .

01:36.550 --> 01:38.661
Hi , I'm Commander Joe Gersy callsign

01:38.661 --> 01:40.772
Man Bear Pig . I'm the safety officer

01:40.772 --> 01:42.439
here at VFA 106 . Hello , I'm

01:42.439 --> 01:44.550
Lieutenant Dean Corbett , callsignagg

01:44.550 --> 01:46.717
man , and I'm an instructor pilot here

01:46.717 --> 01:48.510
at VAW 120 . Hello , my name is

01:48.510 --> 01:50.566
Lieutenant Commander Dickin Counts ,

01:50.566 --> 01:52.566
HSE2 , and I'm an air crew training

01:52.566 --> 01:54.650
officer . This video will point out

01:54.650 --> 01:56.706
some common areas that you will most

01:56.706 --> 01:58.680
likely encounter corrosion while

01:58.680 --> 02:00.902
performing a pre-flight , post-flight ,

02:00.902 --> 02:02.847
or pilot weekly inspection and the

02:02.847 --> 02:05.013
proper procedures required to document

02:05.013 --> 02:07.779
the corrosion when found . Early

02:07.779 --> 02:09.612
identification and treatment are

02:09.612 --> 02:11.612
crucial components in the corrosion

02:11.612 --> 02:13.501
prevention and control process to

02:13.501 --> 02:15.223
prevent further damage and the

02:15.223 --> 02:17.168
necessity for structural repairs .

02:17.168 --> 02:18.946
Naval aircraft are continuously

02:18.946 --> 02:20.946
subjected to corrosive environments

02:20.946 --> 02:23.112
such as rain , salt water , humidity ,

02:23.112 --> 02:25.223
dust , direct sunlight , and aircraft

02:25.223 --> 02:27.279
fluids , which can lead to extensive

02:27.279 --> 02:29.223
corrosion , dry rot , and possible

02:29.223 --> 02:31.830
equipment failure . First , we'll start

02:31.830 --> 02:34.110
off at AS Oceana . We'll start our

02:34.110 --> 02:36.054
review of the corrosion inspection

02:36.054 --> 02:38.470
process with the FAA . Starting at the

02:38.470 --> 02:40.637
nose landing gear , we are looking for

02:40.637 --> 02:42.692
corrosion and exposed metal that can

02:42.692 --> 02:44.859
lead to corrosion . It is important to

02:44.859 --> 02:46.748
look at all wire clamps and clamp

02:46.748 --> 02:48.637
sheathing for damage . Damaged or

02:48.637 --> 02:50.692
missing sheathing can cause friction

02:50.692 --> 02:52.526
and contact of dissimilar metals

02:52.526 --> 02:54.303
contributing to corrosion . The

02:54.303 --> 02:56.137
inspection criteria for the main

02:56.137 --> 02:58.303
landing gear is similar to that of the

02:58.303 --> 03:00.470
nose landing gear . The intake is made

03:00.470 --> 03:02.359
up of dissimilar metals and other

03:02.359 --> 03:04.192
materials that can contribute to

03:04.192 --> 03:06.414
corrosion . The combination of aluminum

03:06.414 --> 03:08.414
substructure covered with composite

03:08.414 --> 03:10.470
skin , fastened with stainless steel

03:10.470 --> 03:12.637
fasteners , creates a corrosion cell .

03:12.750 --> 03:14.528
A topcoat is applied to prevent

03:14.528 --> 03:16.361
electrolytes from contacting the

03:16.361 --> 03:18.399
dissimilar materials , but cracks ,

03:18.520 --> 03:20.679
chips , and imperfections in the

03:20.679 --> 03:22.846
coatings can lead to corrosion if they

03:22.846 --> 03:25.389
are not quickly corrected . Lollipop

03:25.389 --> 03:28.110
links are on all aircraft TMS and are

03:28.110 --> 03:30.429
highly susceptible to corrosion because

03:30.429 --> 03:32.429
the bearings function best when not

03:32.429 --> 03:35.000
painted . Connecting links are utilized

03:35.000 --> 03:36.833
for several different systems on

03:36.833 --> 03:40.009
aircraft . Antenna areas can be a major

03:40.009 --> 03:41.787
contributor to corrosion if not

03:41.787 --> 03:44.059
properly sealed . Improper application

03:44.059 --> 03:46.410
of stealing or lack of sealan on the

03:46.410 --> 03:48.970
antenna mount mold line junctions leads

03:48.970 --> 03:51.081
to water and contaminant intrusion to

03:51.081 --> 03:53.026
the substructure , contributing to

03:53.026 --> 03:55.248
corrosion and costly airframe repairs .

03:55.470 --> 03:57.526
The last area we will discuss is the

03:57.526 --> 03:59.649
windscreen canopy area . Corroded

03:59.649 --> 04:01.760
windscreens can lead to discrepancies

04:01.760 --> 04:03.538
that require costly depot level

04:03.538 --> 04:05.260
maintenance to repair , if not

04:05.260 --> 04:07.427
documented and corrected immediately .

04:07.440 --> 04:09.384
Now let's head over to NAS Norfolk

04:09.384 --> 04:11.551
flight line for additional information

04:11.551 --> 04:13.773
on E2D and H60 aircraft corrosion prone

04:13.773 --> 04:16.429
areas . Aircraft landing gear systems

04:16.429 --> 04:18.485
are constructed of varying materials

04:18.549 --> 04:20.605
such as high strength steel alloys ,

04:20.605 --> 04:23.070
aluminum alloys , and cadmium plating

04:23.070 --> 04:25.059
with attaching steel fasteners and

04:25.059 --> 04:27.309
hardware . Cadmium plated attaching

04:27.309 --> 04:29.476
hardware will start to lose its golden

04:29.476 --> 04:31.587
appearance if it is corroded and will

04:31.587 --> 04:33.420
appear dull , dark , or rusted .

04:33.420 --> 04:35.365
Landing gear struts and peripheral

04:35.365 --> 04:37.476
components are susceptible to chipped

04:37.476 --> 04:39.698
paint and exposed metal caused by small

04:39.698 --> 04:41.865
rock strikes . The degraded coating on

04:41.865 --> 04:43.698
these critical parts can lead to

04:43.698 --> 04:45.642
corrosion that may be difficult to

04:45.642 --> 04:47.529
detect and may lead to premature

04:47.529 --> 04:50.329
failure . One area we will inspect is

04:50.329 --> 04:53.089
the E2D center wing . This large area

04:53.089 --> 04:55.119
has multiple access panels that are

04:55.119 --> 04:57.397
prone to chipped paint , exposed metal ,

04:57.410 --> 04:59.299
and galvanic corrosion around the

04:59.299 --> 05:01.290
fastener heads . We also want to

05:01.290 --> 05:03.489
inspect for proper sealant integrity

05:03.489 --> 05:05.656
around the panels to minimize moisture

05:05.656 --> 05:07.378
intrusion into the center wing

05:07.378 --> 05:09.839
structure . This inspection methodology

05:09.839 --> 05:11.929
also applies to the horizontal and

05:11.929 --> 05:15.790
vertical stabilizers . Engine cells

05:15.790 --> 05:17.623
are subjected to constant debris

05:17.623 --> 05:19.512
strikes as well as self-inflicted

05:19.512 --> 05:21.623
damage from the use of hand tools and

05:21.623 --> 05:23.910
ladders . Naval aircraft that conduct

05:23.910 --> 05:26.299
low-level missions over salt water are

05:26.299 --> 05:28.021
exposed to extensive saltwater

05:28.021 --> 05:30.070
intrusion that can lead to very

05:30.070 --> 05:32.149
expensive corrosion repairs if not

05:32.149 --> 05:34.190
detected and corrected in a timely

05:34.190 --> 05:37.730
manner . On the exterior , we will look

05:37.730 --> 05:40.359
for corroded fasteners around the pilot

05:40.359 --> 05:43.299
and co-pilot windscreens , windows ,

05:43.480 --> 05:45.369
windshield wiper assemblies , and

05:45.369 --> 05:48.600
inspect for seal and integrity . A

05:48.600 --> 05:50.880
common and costly corroded area in the

05:50.880 --> 05:53.519
nose eBay is the mating surface of the

05:53.519 --> 05:55.989
nose door . Pay close attention to the

05:55.989 --> 05:58.279
seal in this area . Door mating

05:58.279 --> 06:00.239
surfaces are significant corrosion

06:00.239 --> 06:03.959
prone areas . Inside the cockpit ,

06:04.130 --> 06:06.186
we will look at the deck fasteners ,

06:06.290 --> 06:08.670
window anchor nuts , restraint buckle

06:08.670 --> 06:10.890
assemblies , and the overall condition

06:10.890 --> 06:13.720
of the center console . Upon completion

06:13.720 --> 06:16.049
of walk around flight inspection , it

06:16.049 --> 06:18.450
is important and essential to document

06:18.450 --> 06:20.809
all the discrepancies found . When

06:20.809 --> 06:22.476
creating a work order for the

06:22.476 --> 06:24.587
discrepancies found , it is important

06:24.587 --> 06:26.769
to use the proper codes . The first

06:26.769 --> 06:29.489
code to note is the when discovered

06:29.489 --> 06:32.609
code . The main codes used for pre-post

06:32.609 --> 06:36.130
flight are A before flight abort

06:36.450 --> 06:39.959
B before flight , no abort , D

06:40.170 --> 06:43.839
inflight , no abort , E after flight

06:44.209 --> 06:48.010
between flight F pilot NFL inspection .

06:49.010 --> 06:51.010
The next code that is important for

06:51.010 --> 06:53.320
documenting pre post flight corrosion

06:53.320 --> 06:56.579
is type work order codes . Type work

06:56.579 --> 06:59.540
order code DF should be selected . When

06:59.540 --> 07:01.207
maintenance discrepancies are

07:01.207 --> 07:02.984
discovered during pre-flight or

07:02.984 --> 07:05.829
post-flight inspections . The last code

07:05.829 --> 07:07.959
we will discuss for aircrew use for

07:07.959 --> 07:10.559
documenting corrosion is type

07:10.559 --> 07:13.000
maintenance code . B unscheduled

07:13.000 --> 07:15.167
maintenance . It is important to write

07:15.167 --> 07:17.320
work order discrepancies in a manner

07:17.320 --> 07:19.480
that the maintenance team can clearly

07:19.480 --> 07:21.959
understand and easily find in order to

07:21.959 --> 07:23.903
treat the specific corroded area .

07:24.720 --> 07:27.959
Pilots , NFOs , and air crews serve an

07:27.959 --> 07:30.070
important role in the overall success

07:30.070 --> 07:32.126
of a squadron's corrosion prevention

07:32.126 --> 07:34.600
and control program . Your squadron

07:34.600 --> 07:36.711
training officer will provide further

07:36.711 --> 07:38.822
guidance for corrosion prone areas on

07:38.822 --> 07:41.850
your specific type , model , series ,

07:42.079 --> 07:44.920
aircraft . In closing , frequent

07:44.920 --> 07:47.087
corrosion inspections are essential to

07:47.087 --> 07:49.309
the overall corrosion control program .

07:49.619 --> 07:51.786
The costs resulting from corrosion can

07:51.786 --> 07:53.730
be minimized by early detection ,

07:53.980 --> 07:56.260
identification , and treatment .

08:05.390 --> 08:08.100
We at Micro Learning , taking the

08:08.100 --> 08:09.890
training to the next level .
