- What type of line is normally used in a drawing or blueprint that indicates invisible edges or contours?
A-Medium-weight short dashes evenly spaced.
B-Medium-weight very short dashes evenly spaced.
C- Thin-weight, one long and two short dashes evenly spaced.
A
A medium-weight dashed line is called a hidden line and is used to show an edge or object not visible to the viewer.
A medium solid line is used as a visible outline or object line. Alternate short and long light dashes are used to show a center line.

- (Refer to Figure 27.) In the isometric view of a typical aileron balance weight, identify the view indicated by the arrow.
A. 1
B. 3
C. 2

View 3 shows the aileron balance weight as seen from the direction shown by the arrow. This view shows the outline of the weight and the outline of the hole. Both of these are drawn as solid lines. The two bolt holes are shown as light dashed lines (hidden lines), and there are also two hidden lines that show the break lines where the radius begins for the tip of the weight.

- Which statement is applicable when using a sketch for making a part?
A. The sketch may be. used only if supplemented with three-view orthographic projection drawings.
B. The sketch must show all information to manufacture the part.
C. The sketch need not show all necessary construction detail~.
B
A sketch is a simple, rough drawing made rapidly and without much detail. A sketch is frequently drawn for use in manufacturing a replacement part. Such a sketch must provide all necessary information to those persons who must manufacture the part.

- (Refer to Figure 32.) What is the next step required for a working sketch of the illustration?
A. Darken the object outlines.
B. Sketch extension and dimension lines.
C. Add notes, dimensions, title, and date.
B
In the sketch shown here, the part has already been blocked in, details have been added, the visible lines darkened, and the hidden lines added. The next step is to sketch in the extension lines and the dimension lines.

8116-1. In a sectional view drawing, what sections illustrate particular parts of an object?
A. Removed.
B. Revolved.
C. Half.
A removed section illustrates particular parts of an object. It is similar to revolved sections, except it is placed at one side and, to bring out pertinent details, often drawn to a larger scale than the main view on which it is indicated.

8117-1. A simple way to find the center of a circle on a sketch or drawing, or a circular piece of material is to
A. Draw two non-parallel chord lines across the circle and then a corresponding perpendicular bisector line across each chord line.
B. Draw two parallel chord lines across the circle and then a corresponding perpendicular bisector line across each chord line.
C. Draw a single chord line across the circle and then a corresponding perpendicular bisector line across each chord line.
A
An easy way to find the center of a circle on a sketch is to draw two non-parallel chord lines across the circle.
Then, draw a perpendicular bisector of each of these chord lines. The bisector lines will cross at the center of the circle.

A. Graph paper.
B. Plain white paper.
C. Artist’s paper.

(2) Sketches are usually more complicated to make when using graph paper.
Regarding the above statements,
A. Only 1 is true.
B. Only 2 is true.
C. Neither 1 nor 2 is true.

A. Steel.
B. Cast iron.
C. Aluminum.

- Zone numbers on aircraft blueprints are used to
A. Locate parts, sections, and views on large drawings.
B. Indicate different sections of the aircraft.
C. Locate parts in the aircraft.
A
Large drawings used for manufacturing aircraft are zoned to make it easy to locate parts, sections, and views on large drawings. Zone identifiers are placed every foot along the edge of the drawing. The identifiers along the bottom of the drawing are numbers and those up the side of the drawing are letters.

8130-2. Which of the following terms is/are used to indicate specific measured distances from the datum and/or other points identified by the manufacturer, to points in or on the aircraft?
- Zone numbers.
- Reference numbers.
- Station numbers.
A. 1 and 3.
B. 3.
C. 2.
B
Station numbers is a numbering system used on large assemblies for aircraft to locate stations such as fuselage frames. Fuselage Frame-Sta 185 indicates the frame is 185 inches from the datum of the aircraft. The measurement is usually taken from the nose or zero station, but in some instances it may be taken from the fire wall or some other point chosen by the manufacturer
(. AM.I.B.K1) - FAA-H-8083-30
8130-3. In order to locate wing and stabilizer frames, what numbering system is used?
A. Dimension numbers.
B. Station numbers.

1.0625 +.0025 -.0003?
A. .0028.
B. 1.0650.
C. 1.0647.
A
The bushing described here has an outside dimension of 1.0625 inch with a tolerance of +0.0025 -0.0003. The bushing could have an outside diameter of anywhere between 1.0622 inch and 1.0650 inch. The tolerance for this part is 0.0028 inch.

- A hydraulic system schematic drawing typically indicates the
A. Specific location of the individual components within the aircraft.
B. Direction of fluid flow through the system.
C. Amount of pressure in the pressure and return lines, and in system components.
B
A schematic drawing of a hydraulic system would not show the specific location of any of the parts in the aircraft, nor the amount of pressure in the pressure and return lines, and in system components. A schematic drawing shows the way all of the components are connected together to form the complete system. It also shows the direction the fluid flows through the system.

(1) A measurement should not be scaled from an aircraft print because the paper shrinks or stretches when the print is made.
(2) When a detail drawing is made, it is carefully and accurately drawn to scale, and is dimensioned.
Regarding the above statements,
A. Only 2 is true.
8. Both 1 and 2 are true.
C. Neither 1 nor 2 is true.
B
Statement1 is true.Measurements should never be scaled from an aircraft drawing because the paper shrinks and stretches. The print is seldom the exact same size as the original drawing.
Statement 2 is also true. When a detail drawing is made, it is carefully and accurately drawn to scale and is dimensioned.

- (Refer to Figure 31.) What are the proper procedural steps for sketching repairs and alterations?
A. 3, 1, 4, and 2.
B. 4, 2, 3, and 1.
C. 1, 3, 4, and 2.
A
An easy way to make a sketch of a repair or alteration is to:
3 Block in the space and basic shape to be used for the sketch;
1 Add details to the basic block;
4 Darken the lines that are to show up as visible lines in the finished sketch; and
2 Add dimensions and any other information that will make the sketch more usable.

- What should be the first step of the procedure in sketching an aircraft wing skin repair?
A. Draw heavy guidelines.
B. Lay out the repair.
C. Block in the views.
C
In making a sketch of a repair, the first thing to do is to block in the views. As you block in the views, you are able to organize the sketch so it will clearly show the most information.
