S PHILIPPINE STATE COLLEGE OF AERONAUTICS AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY CAREER PLACEMENT EXAMINATION METALLIC STRUCTURES ( SHEET METAL). This construction uses stressed skin to support almost all loads much like an aluminum beverage can.. It consist of determining the number of rivets required the side style of nvet to be use, its matenal temper condition and strength, distance of nvet holes and nvets hommoodooolpatch and spacing of the rivet through-out the repair.. Itis a filler patch that is flush to the skin when applied it is supported by and riveted 1o a reinforcement plate which is, in turn, riveted to the inside of the skin..
