Correct Answer
C. Aileron moves up and the left aileron moves downExplanation
When the cockpit control is moved to the right, the right aileron moves up and the left aileron moves down. This is because the ailerons are control surfaces on the wings of an aircraft that are used to control the roll or banking motion of the aircraft. When the control is moved to the right, the right aileron is raised, creating more lift on that side of the wing and causing the aircraft to roll to the right. At the same time, the left aileron is lowered, reducing lift on that side and aiding in the roll to the right.Rate this question:

Vacuum pressure
Correct Answer
D. Vacuum pressureExplanation
To apply uniform pressure to laminated fiberglass repairs, vacuum pressure is used. This method involves creating a vacuum seal around the repair area using a vacuum bag or similar device. The vacuum removes air from the area, causing the bag to press tightly against the repair, applying even pressure. This ensures that the fiberglass layers are properly bonded and eliminates any air bubbles or inconsistencies. Vacuum pressure is an effective and efficient method for achieving a uniform pressure during laminated fiberglass repairs.Rate this question:

(618) What step must be taken when doing a partial-through repair that is not done on a full core replacement repair?
- A.
Install a 0.010″ aluminum sheet shim
- B.
Cut the replacement core larger than the cutout
- C.
Cut one disk of adhesive film to the size of the cutout
- D.
Ensure the overlap of the patch plate is a minimum of 2″.
Correct Answer
A. Install a 0.010″ aluminum sheet shimExplanation
When doing a partial-through repair that is not done on a full core replacement repair, it is necessary to install a 0.010" aluminum sheet shim. This shim helps to provide additional support and stability to the repair, ensuring that it is properly aligned and secure. The shim fills any gaps or uneven areas between the repaired section and the surrounding structure, helping to distribute the load evenly and prevent any potential issues or damage. By installing the aluminum sheet shim, the integrity and strength of the repair are enhanced, making it a crucial step in the partial-through repair process.Rate this question:
