Restore flight simulator FS-02 to service

What is going on

Flight simulator FS-02 was withdrawn from training this morning with a fault on the pitch actuator of the motion system. The customer has a full training day booked tomorrow and the contract requires a priority 1 response within four hours. A spare actuator is on site. Ahmed Saleh raised the work order and completed the initial fault diagnosis before being called to another job. Entering the motion envelope is high risk work and the motion base must be pinned and the hydraulic supply isolated before anyone goes underneath. Fiona Kaczmarek wants the repair done, tested and recorded so the availability figures in the monthly report are supported.

Your brief

Take over the open work order, plan and carry out the actuator replacement safely, test the motion system against the acceptance criteria in the work instruction, and close the work order with a complete record of parts, tests and time so the simulator can be returned to training.

Work through it

You do not need to do it all. Doing a few of these will show you what the work is like. Your ticks and notes stay on this device.

• Open the FS-02 work order in the Maintenance Work Orders system, read Ahmed Saleh's diagnosis and confirm the priority and response time that applies.
• Complete a Job Safety Analysis for the actuator replacement covering hydraulic isolation, pinning the motion base, stored energy, manual handling of the actuator and working beneath the platform.
• Check the Training and Competency Register to confirm you hold the simulator type competency and record who supervises if you do not.
• Update the work order to In progress, record the isolation and lock and tag steps, and record the removed and fitted actuator part numbers and batch.
• Carry out the functional test in the work instruction, record each test result, and describe the operator confirmation run required before the simulator returns to training.
• Close the work order with a full description of the work, parts used, test results and time taken, and check the record against the Maintenance Work Order Procedure closing requirements.
• Report to Fiona Kaczmarek in writing with the outage period in hours so the availability figure can be calculated for the monthly report.

What someone in this role would produce

• Completed Job Safety Analysis
• Updated and closed work order record
• Functional test record
• Written report of the outage period
