Identify flight-line safety protocols when performing aircraft maintenance.

Identification should include

  • foreign object debris (FOD)
  • fueling and combustible fluids (e.g., liquid oxygen [LOX])
  • electrical safety
  • maneuvering around aircraft (e.g., walking; driving ground vehicles; adhering to safety guidelines near an intake, exhaust, rotor, and wings; towing; maintaining safety pin protocol)
  • tool safety and accountability.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What does flight-line mean?
  • What is the purpose of an FOD walk?
  • What are hazards that might result from not following tech orders?
  • What is LOX, and why does it present a safety concern?
