Aircraft Drawings
Which type of drawing provides the information needed to place a part or assembly in its final position in the aircraft?
Answer
Installation drawing
An installation drawing gives the dimensions, hardware, and reference information required to locate and secure a part or assembly in its final position in the aircraft. A detail drawing describes a single part completely enough to fabricate it, an assembly drawing shows how parts fit together as a unit, and a sectional view is a cutaway used to reveal internal construction.
