Study Notes

Title Block

A title block is typically located in the lower right corner of an aircraft drawing
It contains information necessary to manufacture the illustrated part
Includes material specifications, tolerances, surface finish, and materials and fastener specifications (bolts, rivets, screws, etc.)
The part name is put in the box labeled 'title'

Bill of Material

Lists every material needed to manufacture the part
Includes quantity required, part number, description, size, and specification number for each material

Application

Indicates where the part is used
Shows the model of aircraft the part is used on and the part number of the next assembly
Includes the quantity of parts needed for both the next assembly and the final assembly

Notes

Added to a drawing to identify a deviation from the norm
Provides additional information, lists alternatives, calls attention to an item, or specifies modifications to an original design
Related to the drawing or other relevant drawings
Typically found in a block or placed in a location that does not interfere with the drawing

Revision Block

Records revisions to a drawing
Includes the description of the revision, the date the revision was released, and the initials of the person approving the revision
Located in the upper right corner of a drawing

Zones

A system of location used in large aircraft drawings
Divided into sections marked with letters (A, B, etc.) vertically and numbers (1, 2, etc.) horizontally
Identifies a specific location on the drawing using a combination of letters and numbers (e.g., C-7)

Dimensioning

Essential for a drawing to be meaningful
Represents the perfect size and are called basic or nominal dimensions
Accurately gives all needed dimensions

Illustrated Parts Catalogue

Shows the location and part numbers of items installed on an aircraft
Contains detailed exploded views of all areas of an aircraft
Not considered acceptable data for maintenance and repair by the FAA

Overhaul Manual

Contains information about the repair and rebuilding of components that can be removed from an aircraft
Includes multiple illustrations showing how individual components are assembled
Lists individual part numbers

Wiring Manual

Illustrates aircraft electrical systems and their components
Contains schematic diagrams to aid in electrical system troubleshooting
Lists part numbers and locations of electrical system components

Structural Repair Manuals

Used for repair of serious damage to an aircraft's primary and secondary structure
Contains detailed information for repairing an aircraft's structure

Microform Readers

Equipment should be inspected weekly and maintained daily
Dust on the glass flats can be magnified by the optics of the reader
Dust can also be transferred to the microform, where it might obscure details and even damage film
Dirty equipment decreases image quality
Grime builds up on the edges of glass flats, creating another source of film abrasion

Tolerance Allowance

Includes lower and upper limits for hole shaft tolerance
Importance of allowance and tolerance in aircraft maintenance and repair
