    Uploaded by

    Natalie Cooper
    The document discusses issues related to aircraft electrical wiring interconnect systems (EWIS) maintenance and safety. It poses 10 discussion questions about topics like the need for EWIS best practices to improve aircraft safety and reliability, how aircraft are protected from high-intensity radiated fields, the definition and causes of arching and chafing, how aging wiring relates to fatigue stress, the economic and other costs of EWIS failures, risks of improper EWIS maintenance, factors that contribute to EWIS degradation, the definition of latent circuit breaker failures, and how the "clean as you go" philosophy prevents arching, fires, and chafing from foreign object debris.

    best practices?
    2. Define HIRF, How does aircraft is protected from HIRF?
    3. Define Arching and chafing.
    4. How does aging wiring related to fatigue stress.
    5. Evaluate the economic cost and other costs associated with EWIS
    failure.
    6. Recognize the risks associated with improper EWIS maintenance
    practice (mechanical).
    7. Documentation
