    Study Notes

    Methods of Illustration

    • The complete sectional view allows only the inside to be seen.
    • Half-section view, a combination of internal and external views, shows the inside and outside of a part at the same time.
    • Block diagrams are used to aid in troubleshooting, consisting of individual blocks representing several components or replaceable modules.
    • Logic flow charts are used to identify and replace malfunctioning sub-assemblies, following a logical testing sequence.
    • Wiring diagrams are used to troubleshoot electrical systems, containing schematic diagrams, part numbers, and locations of components.
    • Schematic diagrams are used to illustrate a principle of operation, indicating the location of components with respect to each other.
    • Pictorial diagrams are used to visualise the operation of a specific system, containing pictures of components instead of electrical symbols.

    Methods of Dimensioning

    • Dimensions on a drawing represent the perfect size and are called basic or nominal dimensions.
    • Dimensions are used to show the shape of a part and accurately give all needed dimensions.

    Drawing Systems

    • The grid system is used to locate detailed views on large drawings, divided into zones identified by letters and numbers.
    • Revision blocks are used to indicate revisions, including the description of the revision, date, and approver's initials.

    Standards and Specifications

    • International Standards and ISO Standards are documented agreements containing technical specifications or other precise criteria to ensure materials, products, processes, and services are fit for their purpose.
    • The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies.
    • ISO 9000 is the family of quality management systems standards, and ISO 9001 deals with the requirements that organisations must fulfil.

    Aviation Standards

    • Aviation standards include Airworthiness Standards, which ensure that aircraft conform to requirements, and Aircraft Manual Digital Formats, which are used to streamline maintenance processes.

    Aircraft Maintenance Documents

    • Illustrated parts catalogues show the location and part numbers of items installed on an aircraft, but are not considered acceptable data for maintenance and repair by the FAA.
    • Overhaul manuals contain information about the repair and rebuilding of components, and wiring manuals contain schematic diagrams to aid in electrical system troubleshooting.
    • Structural repair manuals are used for repairing serious damage, and NAS Specifications provide a range of design and process standards, as well as material and parts specifications.
    • MIL Specifications are developed and managed by the United States Military, and NSO Specifications are used to enhance the interoperability and operational effectiveness of alliance military forces.
