Study Notes
Allowance and Tolerance
- Nominal size is the actual size of the component as annotated in the drawing or blueprint.
- Tolerance is the difference between the maximum and minimum limits of basic or nominal size.
- Tolerance is also the difference between the upper and lower deviations in basic or nominal size.
- Tolerances are assigned to mating parts.
Tolerance Types
- Tolerances can be expressed as direct limits, or as tolerance values applied directly to a dimension.
- Types of tolerance include:
- Limit tolerance (upper and lower dimensional sizes are stacked on top of each other)
- Unilateral tolerance (a target dimension is given along with a tolerance)
- Bilateral tolerance
Drawing Dimensioning
- Most aircraft drawings are dimensioned using a reference edge from which all dimensions are made.
- Holes are typically located with reference to one corner of a part.
- Two ways of placing dimensions on a drawing:
- Writing all dimensions perpendicular to the dimension lines.
- Writing all dimensions parallel to the bottom of the drawing.
Manufacturer's Publications
- Aircraft manufacturers provide various manuals with their products to assist engineers in inspection, maintenance, and repair.
- Manufacturer's manuals are acceptable data.
- The engineer must use these manuals when performing maintenance.
Aircraft Maintenance Manual
- The primary reference tool for aviation maintenance engineers working on aircraft.
- Divided into chapters, with similar information found in each chapter.
ATA 100 Chapter Structure
- Chapters 00 to 23, with each chapter covering a specific subject.
- Examples of chapters include:
- 23: continued from previous page
- 28 to 116: no specific subjects listed
International Standards
- International Standards and ISO Standards are documented agreements containing technical specifications or other precise criteria.
- Goal is to ensure that materials, products, processes, and services are fit for their purpose.
ISO
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies.
- ISO publishes International Standards to complement product or service requirements stated in company specifications.
Drawing Types
- Exploded view drawings:
- Show every part in an assembly.
- Parts are in their relative positions and expanded outwards.
- Each part is identified by its physical appearance and reference number.
- Sectional drawings:
- Four types: Revolved section, Removed section, Half section, Complete section.
- Used to illustrate the internal shape of a part.
ATA Specification 100
- ATA Specification calls for organizing an aircraft's technical data into individual systems, which are numbered.
- Each system has provisions for subsystem numbering.
- Example: fire protection system is designated as Chapter 26 under the ATA 100 specifications.
