Record 1 2021-03-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Maneuvering of Ships
CONT

The intended manoeuvre was to move the port quarter of the [ship] away from the downstream limit of the turning basin to avoid damaging the propeller and rudder, and to tow the [ship] astern to the upstream part of the turning basin and then drop anchor. The [ship] would then swing on the anchor and stem the current again, ready to resume the berthing manoeuvre.

CONT

La manœuvre prévue consistait à éloigner la hanche bâbord du [navire] de la bordure aval du bassin d'évitage afin de ne pas causer d'avaries à l'hélice et au gouvernail, et à remorquer le [navire] à reculons vers la partie amont du bassin d'évitage puis à mouiller l'ancre. Par la suite, le [navire] aurait [viré] sur son ancre puis étalé de nouveau le courant, prêt à reprendre la manœuvre d'accostage.

Record 5 2011-04-18

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

The rudder actuator is a tandem actuator, having two internal piston areas for each hydraulic source(A & B). The actuator is capable of positioning the rudder panel with either one or both main hydraulic sources available, though with one source inoperative a reduced rudder panel deflection would result due to blowdown at higher airspeeds. Flow of hydraulic fluid to the rudder actuator is controlled by the dual servo-valve. This is a complex dual concentric cylinder with an outer and inner slide. During normal rudder pedal inputs sufficient rudder panel deflection is catered for by the primary(inner) valve alone. However, should a larger panel deflection be required or a higher rate rudder input be commanded, the secondary(outer) sleeve moves in addition to port extra fluid to the actuator. Movement of the outer sleeve is typically no more than 1 mm. Position of both sleeves of the servo valve is controlled by a complex mechanism of bell cranks, input rod and summing lever, the geometry of which is such as to provide movement of the sleeves in relation to the body of the valve.
