Maintenance performed on an aircraft as a result of a problem discovered in the course of normal operation.
Scheduled maintenance is maintenance performed according to a predetermined plan or schedule.
Industry:Aviation
Maintenance performed on an aircraft when it is away from its regular maintenance base or out of the maintenance dock. Field maintenance is limited, as much as possible, to minor replacement operations.
Industry:Aviation
Maintenance procedures followed to keep a piece of equipment working properly. Changing the oil, cleaning the spark plugs, cleaning the fuel and oil strainers, and checking or replacing hose connections are examples of reciprocating engine preventive maintenance.
Industry:Aviation
Maintenance that can be done without having to take the aircraft into a hangar or maintenance dock. Troubleshooting, minor repairs, systems servicing, and the removal and replacement of many components are classified as line maintenance.
Industry:Aviation

Industry:Aviation
Material transported in an airplane, ship, truck, or train.
Carnot cycle (energy release cycle). An ideal reversible, but unattainable, cycle of energy transformation that explains the operation of a perfect heat engine. The four events that occur in a Carnot cycle are:
# An isothermal expansion of the working fluid from A to B. Heat energy is neither added to nor taken from the air. The temperature remains constant at T1.
# An adiabatic expansion from B to C with the temperature changing from T1 to T2.
# An isothermal compression from C to D at temperature T2.
# An adiabatic compression of the gas from D to A, returning it to its original conditions.
