The aircraft c check is considered part of the "heavy maintenance" portion of aviation maintenance. The C Check happens between 18 months to two years (depending on the aircraft). This is likely performed in a special facility, taking 1-2 weeks. During a C. Check, an aviation maintenance technician performs an extensive check of individual systems and components for serviceability and function. Here are some examples of C Check items, per Aviation Pros: Visually check flight compartment escape ropes for condition and security Check operation of DC bus tie control unit Visually check the condition of entry door seals Operationally check flap asymmetry system Pressure decay check APU fuel line shroud Inspect engine inlet TAI ducting for cracks Inspect stabilizer attach bolts Inspect floor beams Detailed inspection of wing box structure

As per the SOLAS regulations, Chapter V , the manning requirements for MODUs' main engine rooms are well-defined to ensure safe operations and adherence to international standards. 1️⃣ Manned Engine Rooms: A qualified engineer should be present in the main engine room at all times during navigation. Their expertise and experience are crucial in operating and maintaining the machinery on board. 2️⃣ Unmanned Engine Rooms: When the main engine room is not continuously manned, remote monitoring and control systems should be in place to enable real-time information about the engine room's status and prompt identification of any potential issues. 3️⃣ Competency and Qualifications: Personnel assigned to the engine room must possess the necessary competency, training, and qualifications according to flag state requirements and regulations. #OffshoreDrilling #MaritimeSafety #SOLASRegulations #Safety #HSE

Thruster in operation

In the world of offshore operations and engineering, precision and reliability are paramount. Last week, INCITIAS, successfully completed the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) of two Mini Observational Class ROVs (Remote Operated Vehicles) for an upcoming offshore campaign in Southeast Asia. In the video, INCITIAS staff Bastiaan Scheepers and Nakhesh Singh are seen testing the equipment, here in Melbourne. The FAT encompassed a comprehensive array of tests, with a focus on ensuring these Mini ROVs can withstand the demanding conditions they will encounter during their use. The FAT Highlights: Pressure Testing o  Both Mini ROVs were subjected to rigorous pressure testing, simulating depths of up to 300 meters. This test was crucial in verifying the structural integrity and resilience of the ROVs under high-pressure conditions. Torque Measurement o  INCITIAS measured the available torque required to operate subsea valves. This data is essential for smooth and precise operation of critical equipment in the subsea environment. Custom Tools o  Showcasing our original equipment ingenuity by designing and manufacturing custom tools in-house. These tools are specifically engineered to aid in the visual inspection of mooring lines, a vital aspect of offshore campaigns. Their successful completion of the Mini ROV FAT showcases INCITIAS capabilities and highlights Melbourne's effectiveness as a hub for cutting-edge engineering solutions. As we look forward to the upcoming offshore campaign in Southeast Asia, INCITIAS is pleased with this result and this example of our commitment to excellence and innovation. #INCITIAS #MiniROVs #EngineeringExcellence #OffshoreCampaign #SEAsia #FactoryAcceptanceTest #MelbourneEngineering https://lnkd.in/gVdGDPP9

There are instances where we are asked, quite reasonably, who is the MTCS ROV High Voltage Course suitable for? The initial answer is any person required to maintain or repair a work class ROV, Plough or Trencher that operate on voltages in excess of 1KV AC/1.5KV DC. As small inspection ROVs typically tend not to operate on high voltage electricity, participation in a high voltage course is generally not required. However, they may operate on voltages that are still considered to be dangerous and we consider completing this course to be an advantage to any ROV operator. Working with high voltage systems is inherently hazardous, and the best defence against incidents is a thorough understanding of safe working practice.
