Basic Technical Training Standard / V9 2024-06-24
ELEMENT 7.1 - THE FUNCTION OF THE MECHANICAL AND THE AERODYNAMIC BRAKES
Learning objectives:
79) The participants can recognise the function and operation of the mechanical and the aerodynamic brakes (Knowledge, basic level)
80) The participants can describe the hazards associated with the mechanical and the aerodynamic brakes (Knowledge, basic level)
81) The participants can describe the importance of appropriate isolation/locking techniques (Knowledge, basic level)
82) The participants can describe the correct PPE when working with mechanical and the aerodynamic brakes (Knowledge, basic level)
The instructor shall:
Explain the function of the mechanical brake
Explain the function of the aerodynamic brake
Explain the consequences of them not functioning
Explain the operating principle of the mechanical brake
Explain the operating principle of the aerodynamic brake (e.g. stall, pitch etc.)
Facilitate discussions with the participants about:
a. the hazards associated with the mechanical and aerodynamic brakes (e.g. discussions on how the hazards of the mechanical and aerodynamic brakes compare to the hazards of the gearbox)
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 mechanical and aerodynamic brakes
Engage in discussions about the importance of appropriate isolation/locking techniques (e.g. risk of moving parts, pressurized systems)
Engage in discussions about the correct PPE
