ASA Aircraft Covering Review Questions with complete Solutions Rated A+
What are three types of fabric that can be used to cover an aircraft? - Answers Cotton fabric, synthetic
fabric, and glass fabric.
What paperwork must be completed if an aircraft that was originally covered with Grade-A cotton fabric
is re-covered using a synthetic fabric? - Answers The covering must be done according to a
Supplemental Type Certificate, and a Form 337 must be executed, stating that all materials and
processes complied with the requirements of the STC.
What type of rib lacing cord is recommended for attaching cotton fabric to an aircraft structure? -
Answers Waxed linen cord.
How wide should the surface tape be that is used to cover the trailing edge of an aircraft wing? -
Answers Three inches wide
Why is the surface tape used on the trailing edge of the control surfaces of some airplanes notched? -
Answers Since the edges of this tape face into the wind, it is possible that it could start to lift and form a
very effective spoiler. If the tape is notched, it will tear off at a notch.
What is the purpose of the reinforcing tape that is used between the fabric and the rib lacing on an
aircraft wing? - Answers The reinforcing tape keeps the rib lacing cord from pulling through the fabric.
Should a sewed seam in the fabric used to cover an aircraft wing run spanwise or chordwise? - Answers
Both spanwise and chordwise seams are permissible, but chordwise seams are preferred.
What is the preferred seam used for machine-sewing pieces of aircraft fabric together? - Answers The
French fell seam.
What type of material is used for inter-rib bracing in a fabric-covered aircraft wing? - Answers Cotton
reinforcing tape.
What type of knot is used for locking the stitches that are used for rib lacing on a fabric-covered aircraft
wing? - Answers A modified seine knot.
What determines the spacing of the rib lacing stitches on a fabric-covered aircraft wing? - Answers The
never-exceed speed of the aircraft.
When is the finishing tape applied to a fabric-covered wing when it is being recovered? - Answers After
the second coat of dope has dried and the nap of the fabric has been sanded off.
What is the recommended type of repair to a fabric-covered aircraft surface when it has an L-shaped
tear with each of the legs of the tear more than 14 inches long? - Answers If the never-exceed speed of
the aircraft is less than 150 miles per hour, a doped-on repair can be made.
What type of hand-sewing stitch is used when sewing in a panel of new fabric on an aircraft fabric-
covered wing? - Answers A baseball stitch, locked every eight to ten stitches.
