Induction of aircraft

• Flying machine
• a machine (such as an airplane or a helicopter)
  that flies through the air
• supported either by its own lightness or by the
  action of the air against its surfaces
• keep in the sky by moving air over their wings.
• Examples are aeroplanes, helicopters, and gliders.

Does an aircraft have a key?

• short answer to this is no
• An aircraft isnt locked with a key
• it certainly doesnt need a key to start it up.
• The pilots simply push a button.

How is an aircraft weighed?

• Weighing takes place in seven steps
• Pling!- Once every four years, an aircrafts
  diary says its time for a weighing session.
• An appointment is made with the Weight Balance
  team in the hangar.
• The aircraft is emptied completely. The kerosene
  is drained right down to the last drop. Then the
  drinking water and toilet water are removed.
• The Ground Engineers prepare the aircraft for
  weighing and make sure it really is empty and dry
  (rainwater can distort the measurement by adding
  extra weight).

How is an aircraft weighed? (Contt..)

• The Weight Balance engineer uses a checklist to
  ensure that all of the required contents have
  been removed.
• The aircraft is weighed.
• The weight is filed.

7
How is an aircraft painted?

• In layers primer, base coat and top coat.
• But first all the old paint is stripped off the
  aircraft in a process lasting 24 hours.
•  Once all the old paint has been removed, the
  three new layers are applied.
• Each layer takes six hours to dry.

How are stickers applied to an aircraft?

• Aircraft arent only painted, they are also
  decorated with stickers.
• This process is quite an art.
• First off, a technical drawing is made.
• The stickers are made of a special material that
  can withstand temperatures ranging from -50c to
  110c.
• An extra layer of varnish is sprayed over the
  edges of the sticker.

Does an aircraft have a horn?

• An aircraft does have a hooter.
• Its incredibly noisy.
• When ground engineers are working in the cockpit,
  they can use it to alert their colleagues working
  on the ground.
• Theres a tiny button marked GND on the
  instrument panel in the cockpit. 
• The button is hard to find, but when pressed it
  sounds as if three steamboats are passing under
  the plane.

How do aircraft get their names?

• One of the few airlines that names its aircraft
• Choose a specific theme for a specific aircraft
  type, and the names have to be easy to pronounce.
