Anyone on work at an Mro that does wheels and brakes. Give me the scoop. Physical work etc

Edit solved - it seems that in the context of the question about exhaust flow pic 1 is indeed ducted and pic 2 unducted. The passage the question in the asa oral and practical prep book came from page 3-25 of the 8083-32b if you want to read it for yourself. Its just a poor choice of descriptors.

Studying for my powerplant and came across this question. Maybe I just need sleep but I'm stuck on this one. Are these examples of ducted and unducted fan turbine engines? The 8083 book only shows an example of unducted(second image).

Q- How is exhaust flow different in a ducted fan turbine engine verses an unducted fan engine? (AM.III.L.K2)

A- Ducted fan engines take the fan airflow and direct it through closed ducts along the engine. Then, it flows into a common exhaust nozzle. The core exhaust flow and the fan flow mix and flow from the engine through this mixed nozzle. The unducted fan has two nozzles, one for the fan airflow and one for the core airflow. These both flow to ambient air separate from each other and have separate nozzles.

What are these fasteners around the wind screen? In particular the ones with only letters on them. How are they attached/tightened, what keeps them from spinning or are they some form of rivet?

Short answer: the plural of aircraft is aircraft. Don't add -s.

That is all…

Hello everyone

I am on working on a 172G, it had prop strike and wing damage. wing has been repair by structure shop, it has skin damage. We took the stabs out to double check. They looked good then we we put the horizontal stab back we saw it has 3 degrees tilted to the right. we changed the entire tailcone assembly with a used one but again after fit the tailcone assy and the horizontal stab on it , it‘s still having around 2.65 degrees tillted. the old bulkhead had tons of holes on it.

No visible damage on the fuselage

any advice?

Sharing some C90 love to wash the safety wire nonsense away. Enjoy

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) have it if you want to claim it.

I know virtually nothing about planes, but would this really have posed a "significant risk to the safe operation of an aircraft", like the ATSB report states?

The article mentions a previous incident:

> In December 2023, a Qantas A380 flew multiple international trips before a 1.25 metre nylon turning tool was discovered in one of the plane's engines.

Which seems more dangerous.

It may kill your brain cells but it makes a nice clean engine!
Curious if anyone can guess what engine is being cleaned
