STRUCTURES
To be completed after studying the appropriate parts of
module 13 Avionic Systems

It is recommended that you take this paper as if it is

an actual CAA examination. After-all, it is a learning
tool and the more you get used to doing multi
choice papers the more comfortable you will feel
when doing the actual CAA exam.

Set your time limit (1.3 minutes per question),

complete the paper then check your answers with
those given at the back. Check that you understand
the correct answer for those questions that you
made an incorrect response to.

16. Bonding of aerials is:

(a) Normally carried out via the attachment bolts.

(b) Not required.
(c) Carried out after a systems test.

17. When measuring the surface resistance of external composite panels:

(a) One reading only is necessary.

(b) The number of readings taken depends on the size of the panel.
(c) The readings are taken on top of the final paint coat.

18. HIRF protected areas are:

(a) Inspected as part of the normal airframe structure inspection

schedule.
(b) Specified in ATA100.
(c) Given special additional inspections to the normal airframe
inspection program.
