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
Language: English

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
Language: English
Estimate Time (Hrs.): 1.4

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
