APMP FINALS EXAM QUESTIONS AND 100%
CORRECT ANSWERS (A+)
The effectiveness of any particular method of NDI depends upon the skill, experience
and training of the _________ performing the inspection process. - ANSWER Personnel
Level I NDT Specialist is also referred as _______ - ANSWER Special
Initial classroom hours and on-the-job training should be adequate to provide an
individual with certification in a particular task. The individual shall be capable of
passing a vision and color perception examination, a general examination dealing with
standards and NDT procedures, and a practical examination - ANSWER Level 1
The individual shall hold an FAA Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic Certificate;
complete the prescribed number of formal classroom hours; and pass an examination. -
ANSWER Level 2
Shall have graduated from a 4-year college or university with a degree in engineering or
science, plus 1 year of minimum experience in NDT in an assignment comparable to that
of a Level II in the applicable NDT methods. ANSWER Level 3
The individual shall have experience working as a Level II in the applicable NDT
methods for a period of 4 years and pass an examination. - ANSWER Level 3
The NDI method and procedure to be used for any specific part or component will
generally be specified in the aircraft or component _____________________. - ANSWER
Maintenance/Overhaul Manual
Correct choice of NDI method would be exercised based upon knowledge of principles,
limitations, advantages and disadvantages of the available methods of NDI and
knowledge of their comparative effectiveness and cost. - ANSWER Suitable Method
,"(1) The criticality of the component;
(2) The material, size, shape and weight of the part;
(3) The type of defect sought;
(4) Maximum acceptable defect limits in size and distribution;
(5) Possible locations and orientations of defects;
(6) Part accessibility or portability; and
(7) The number of parts to be inspected." - ANSWER Other Factors
The assorted materials used in NDI incorporate chemicals, which, if handled
incorrectly, can be hazardous to the health and safety of operators and to the safety of
the environment, aircraft and engines. Information on safe handling of materials is
provided in __________. - ANSWER Material Safety Data Sheet
The degree of inspection sensitivity required is another important factor in the selection
of the NDI method. The use of more sensitive NDI methods is necessitated by the fact
that critical parts cannot withstand small defects which may lead to catastrophic failure.
Less critical parts and general hardware generally require less sensitive NDI methods. -
ANSWER Degree of Inspection
The technique shall be used for the detection of visible flaws such as deformation,
welding defects, and corrosion. During inspection, many tools can be used such as a
borescope, gauges, cameras, etc. - ANSWER Visual Inspection
A widely applied and low-cost inspection method applied to inspect surface-breaking
defects in all non-porous materials. - ANSWER Penetrant Inspection
The method simply consists of light tapping the part in question with a special tap
hammer or even a coin and is highly dependent upon the skills and experience of the
inspector. - ANSWER Tap Testing
technique which detects and monitors the release of ultrasonic stress waves from
localised sources when a material deforms under stress. - ANSWER Acoustic Emission
, method that involves the use of one of x-rays or gamma rays to examine internal details
of manufactured parts and to detect discontinuities or flaws. - ANSWER Radiography
for detecting surface and shallow subsurface discontinuities in ferromagnetic materials.
- ANSWER Magnetic Particle Inspection
employs high frequency sound waves to inspect anomalies in materials - ANSWER
Ultrasonic Inspection
use of electromagnetic induction to detect and characterize surface and sub-surface
flaws in conductive materials - ANSWER Eddy Current Inspection
Many aircraft structures are of metal and the most insidious form of damage to those
structures is - ANSWER Corrosion
Materials used in 787 Body - ANSWER Fiberglass
Aluminum
Carbon laminate composite
Carbon sandwich composite
Aluminum/Steel/Titanium
Total materials used in 787 body (by weight) - ANSWER Composites - 50%
Aluminum - 20%
Titanium - 15%
Steel - 10%
Other - 5%
Types of Corrosion - ANSWER Direct Chemical Attack/Chemical Reaction
