Ground studs enable the aircraft airframe to become used as a part of the overall electrical circuit. Installing grounds studs properly is critical to the overall safety and operation of the aircraft.
Learning Objectives
- List the steps required to install a pre-installed ground stud
- List the steps required to install a direct standard ground stud
- Explain how to use the power tools to install ground studs
Bonding and grounding ensures that all electrical energy within the airplane flows per engineering specifications. Proper surface preparation and installation are required to meet the allowed resistance measurement between the bond and the structure.
Learning Objectives
- Install a pre-installed ground stud
- Check resistance on a pre-installed ground stud
Surface bonding is assembling airplane components in a metal-to-metal contact manner. Proper surface preparation and installation are required to meet the allowed resistance measurement between the bond and the structure.
Learning Objectives
- Prepare the surfaces of a fay surface bond
- Install a ground stud in two pieces of material
- Check resistance on a ground stud
Bonding and grounding ensures that all electrical energy within the airplane flows per engineering specifications. Proper surface preparation and installation are required to meet the allowed resistance measurement between the bond and the structure.
In this course, you will learn how to install and test resistance on a direct ground stud.
Learning Objectives
- Install a direct ground stud
- Check resistance on a direct ground stud
After ground studs are installed, it is sometimes a requirement of the specifications to fillet seal the ground stud.
Learning Objectives
- Apply a fillet seal on a direct ground stud installation
As ground studs are installed, it is sometimes a requirement of the specifications to fay seal the ground stud.
Learning Objectives
- Apply a fay seal on a direct ground stud installation
- Check resistance on a direct ground stud installation with a fay seal
