LESSON 8 - YAW SYSTEM
30 min.
The aim of this lesson is to give participants the basic knowledge of the yaw system.
ELEMENT 8.1 - THE FUNCTION OF THE YAW SYSTEM
Learning objectives:
62) The participants can recognise the function and operation of the yaw system (Knowledge, basic level)
63) The participants can describe the hazards associated with the yaw system (Knowledge, basic level)
64) The participants can describe the importance of appropriate isolation/locking techniques (Knowledge, basic level)
65) The participants can describe the correct PPE (Knowledge, basic level)
The instructor shall:
Explain the function of the yaw system
Explain the operation of the components in the yaw system (yaw motors, yaw gears, wind sensor, twist sensor and yaw bearing)
Facilitate discussions with the participants about:
a. the hazards associated with the yaw system (e.g. through discussions about how the hazards of the yaw system compare to the hazards of the gearbox and the mechanical and aerodynamic brakes)
b. the importance of appropriate isolation/locking techniques (e.g. Lock Out Tag Out)
c.
the correct PPE
The participants shall:
Engage in discussions about the hazards associated with the yaw system
