There will always be risks associated with the aviation industry. Even with the large amount of resources available to mitigate these risks, accidents can occur. Accidents can occur during any phase of the flight, including ground handling. The cause of these accidents can be pilot error, equipment failure, negligence in maintenance, weather conditions or even terrorism. Accident recovery is a very important part of the job of aircraft maintainers. During wartime or peacetime operations, the runway must be clear and ready for operations on a 24-hour basis. Aircraft recovery is an operation resulting from an aircraft having suffered a forced landing on the ground induced by reliability or has been incapacitated following an accident. The operation includes an evaluation, repair and, if possible, transportation by air, or recovery by land to a designated maintenance facility for repair and eventual return to service. Aircraft recovery and maintenance evacuation are closely related since, in each case, the aircraft must be equipped for lifting using a crane device and secured on board a land vehicle. Recovering aircraft, however, requires extensive coordination and is usually a matter of time. The Air Force developed the Cash Damaged and Disabled Aircraft Recovery (CDDAR) program to ensure trained technicians and equipment are available to recover aircraft and return an airport to operation as quickly as possible. possible. The term CDDAR is specific to the Air Force; however, aircraft recovery is performed by other Department of Defense services and the civil aviation industry. Training Two key elements to performing a successful recovery are planning and preparation. Together, these two elements are what makes a CDDAR team leader and a CDDAR team capable of...... middle of paper...... accumulators, aircraft engine firefighting cylinders, emergency nitrogen exhaust cylinders , parachute separation cartridges, ejection seat(s) unexploded CAD/PAD cylinders, ejection seat emergency oxygen cylinders, canopy removers and thrusters, liquid oxygen cylinders, chaff and flare dispensers, power lines , live wires, electronic radiation, avionics, toxic hypergolic mixture in propellants, hydrazine, cargo may contain hazardous chemicals Composite AFFF-soaked composite material, damaged composite bundles and airborne particulates, fuel-contaminated composites, cutting operations Miscellaneous Acid of the battery, accumulators, shock absorbers, masts, tyres, pneumatic systems, fire extinguishing cylinders, crushed metalA/C Lifting unequal weight distribution, pitch and roll attitudes outside the maximum limits, Work zone distances (Excerpt from TO 00- 105E-9, Chapter 3, Table 3.7-7)
