F-35 EAWS
F-35 structure - ANS-Contains low Observable material, graphite and carbon/ epoxy
composite materials.
Tie downs - ANS-Two tie downs on the nose landing gear and three tiedowns fittings on
the landing gear (also two additional tie down locations under the wings)
What are the hazards of graphite and carbon epoxy composite materials? - ANS--
Carbon is dangerous when broken and can cause fiber splinters
- Graphite is dangerous for inhalation if is is burning
Proper PPE for handling composite material - ANS-Respirator, Goggles and close
weave cotton gloves
"NO STEP" Area - ANS-The trailing and leading edges, primary flight controls and
radomes
Explain the purpose of the landing gear safety pins? - ANS-They secure the nose and
the Main Landing Gear (MLG) to avoid retraction
Before towing, what access doors should be installed and why? - ANS-Access doors:
1117
2121
2122
2332
2336
2348
2351
Why? To prevent damage to Aircraft's structural integrity
What is mooring and explain the requirements pertaining to weather. - ANS-Tie downs
are dependent on the wind and weather
Where are tie down locations? - ANS-There are two tie downs on the nose landing gear
and three on each of the main landing gear
Note: Another location can be installed under each wing for an additional two tie downs
