AF10-201: Basic Sheet Metal

Throughout this course, students receive a general introduction to FAA’s requirements for sheet metal fabrication and repair. Industry-standard practices such as de-burring metal to prevent cracking and failure will be included. Proper interpretation of repair drawings as well as the process of developing a repair plan are discussed and applied to publications. This course includes layouts, bends in sheet metal, forming, and stressed skin repairs. Fasteners such as NAS1097 rivets, MS20470 rivets, AN470 rivets, MS20426 rivets, and AN426 rivets are selected and installed as per print. Repair procedures and requirements are evaluated and employed during this phase of training.
