Description

This lesson introduces the Power Stow Rollertrack Conveyor system through observation and component identification. Trainees observe a complete demonstration of Power Stow operation inside an aircraft cargo hold. The lesson then examines key components including movement handles, height adjustment handles, and emergency stop buttons.

Lesson Overview

1Observe a complete operation demonstration from inside the cargo hold showing extension, activation, baggage loading, direction change, speed adjustment, height adjustment, and retraction
2Examine Power Stow components in detail in a parking lot environment
3Identify and learn the function of movement handles, toggle switches, height adjustment handles, emergency stop buttons, and front light

Skills Acquired

Recognize the Power Stow Rollertrack Conveyor system and understand its role in reducing manual baggage handling
Identify the movement handles and understand light sensor activation for system extension and retraction
Understand toggle switch functions for starting, stopping, direction control, and speed adjustment
Recognize height adjustment capabilities for accessing baggage at different cargo hold levels
Locate emergency stop buttons for immediate system shutdown in safety situations

Lesson Procedure

The lesson starts at an active aircraft turnaround with a belt loader and Power Stow positioned at the cargo hold; a colleague stands inside the cargo hold ready to demonstrate.
The Power Stow system attached to the belt loader is visible with its flex ramp docked in the cargo hold.
Inside the cargo hold the trainee observes the colleague's demonstration of the complete operation cycle.
The colleague grabs a movement handle to trigger the light sensors, then pushes the handle back to extend the Power Stow while moving sideways on their knees toward the baggage.
Once positioned, the colleague activates the switch and the Power Stow and belt loader begin moving.
Another colleague at the baggage cart loads baggage onto the belt loader, which travels into the cargo hold where it is retrieved and stored.
The colleague stops the Power Stow with the toggle switch, then activates it in the opposite direction to reverse both the Power Stow and belt loader.
The colleague adjusts the height to raise the Power Stow's front end, retrieves baggage from a higher stack, and moves it across the Power Stow down the belt loader.
Finally, the colleague turns off the Power Stow, grabs the handles, and pushes forward while moving on their knees to retract the system to the starting position.
The environment transitions to a parking lot where the Power Stow is extended for a detailed component examination, covering the toggle switches, movement handles with light sensors, height adjustment handles, emergency stop buttons on both sides, and the front light.
