the aircraft and or equipment manufacturer
◉ What purpose does flux serve in welding aluminum? Answer:
Minimizes or prevents oxidation.

corrections after flight test, will have what effect on the lift and drag of
what wing? Answer: Both drag and lift will increase due to increased
angle of attack
,◉ Improper rigging of the elevator trim tab system will affect the
balance of the airplane about its Answer: Lateral axis

lap sheet splices containing a single row of rivets as compared to a joint
with multiple rows, all rivets being equal in diameter? Answer: the
minimum edge distance for the single row is equal to that for the
multiple row
◉ One method of inspecting a laminated fiberglass structure that has
been subjected to damage is to Answer: strip the damaged area of all
paint and shine strong light trough the structure
◉ When a piece of aluminum alloy is to be bent using a minimum radius
for the type and thickness of material, Answer: the layout should be
made so that the bend will be 90 to the grain of the sheet

acrylic plastics? Answer: when rivets are used, adequate spacer or other
satisfactory means to prevent excessive tightening of the frame to the
plastic should provided
