ENLISTED AVIATION WARFARE SPECIALIST
(EAWS) PHASE 3&4 VFA 106 EXAM GRADED A+
Explain the purpose of the Hydraulic Fluid Analysis. ANS >>
Lubrications, heat transfer, and contamination
Explain the purpose of the Tactical Paint Scheme. ANS >>
reduces aircraft signature
Discuss the Corrosion Control Publication. ANS >> NA 01-
1A-509
Explain the three modes of Wheel Brakes. ANS >>
Emergency, Normal, Park
,ENLISTED AVIATION WARFARE SPECIALIST (EAWS)
Explain the purpose of Composite Airframe Material. ANS
>> Limit weight, increase strength and decrease effect of
corrosion attack
Discuss types of repairs. ANS >>. Temporary repair is one
where repairs that are simple and practical as possible,
normally restores full load carrying capabilities allowing
flight to be made until permanent repair can be made.
. One time flight repair is made to restore limited load
carrying requirements to allow an aircraft to fly to a
repair station.
Discuss Aircraft structure. ANS >> Radom-Radar, Forward
Fuselage, centre fuselage, aft fuselage, wings
Discuss Flight control surfaces. ANS >> These surfaces are
controlled by various computers and hydraulic servo-
cylinders installed throughout the aircraft. Surfaces
include Ailerons.
,ENLISTED AVIATION WARFARE SPECIALIST (EAWS)
Explain the F/A-18 Hydraulic System. ANS >> Hydraulic
system in the F/A-18 are complex. Each system contains
an accumulator, hydraulic reservoir, lines and multiple
valves. HS1-provides hydraulic fluid to the primary flight
controls. HS2- provides hydraulic fluid to primary flight
controls and supplies pressure to non flight controls.
Discuss the Principles of Operation for.
A. Electronic Flight Controls
B. Emergency Landing Gear Extension ANS >> A. Ailerons in
flight are commanded asymmetrically to produce roll
motion. Leading edge flaps when taking off or landing the
leading-edge flaps deflect asymmetrically to aid the
ailerons in producing roll motion.
B. Ground safety safety pins which prevent retraction
Explain the purpose of using composite materials in
aircraft construction. ANS >> The purpose of composite
material is to limit weight, increase strength and
decrease effect of corrosion attack.
, ENLISTED AVIATION WARFARE SPECIALIST (EAWS)
Explain the purpose of the launch bar. ANS >> The launch
bar provides a means of steering the aircraft during
carrier deck tracking and engages the catapult, applying
catapult tow forces to the aircraft.
Describe the location of the launch bar. ANS >> The launch
bar is located on the forward side of the nose landing
gear shock strut.
Explain the purpose of the landing gear safety pins. ANS >>
The landing gear has ground safety pins which safeties
the nose and main landing gear in down position,
preventing gear retraction while on deck.
What PPE is used when handling broken composite
material? ANS >> Respirators, goggles, and close weave
cotton gloves
What manual is used for aviation hydraulics? ANS >>
