FITCAL stands for?

FITCAL stands for?

• A. Feel, Inspect, Tighten, Clean, Adjust, and Lubricate
• B. Fix, Inspect, Test, Calibrate, Align, Lubricate
• C. Find, Implement, Train, Calibrate, Align, Log
• D. Follow, Inspect, Tighten, Clean, Align, Lubricate

Answer: (A)

FITCAL is a quick maintenance sequence where each action starts with the letters F I T C A L. The option that matches exactly is Feel, Inspect, Tighten, Clean, Adjust, and Lubricate. In practice, you first feel for looseness or abnormal movement, then inspect for wear or damage, then tighten fasteners to the correct torque, clean surfaces to remove debris and prevent corrosion, adjust any controls or settings as needed, and finally lubricate moving parts to reduce friction and wear. The other options use different verbs that don’t align with the FITCAL initials, so they don’t spell the acronym correctly.
