Preview Questions Aerospace Production Technician | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: What is the key difference between ultrasonic testing (UT) and eddy current testing (ECT) in aerospace inspections?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

UT uses electromagnetic waves, while ECT uses sound waves

UT is used only for metallic materials, ECT is for composites

ECT can detect deeper defects compared to UT

UT detects internal defects, while ECT is used for surface flaws

Question 2: Which of the following welding defects is most concerning in aerospace fabrication, especially in critical load-bearing components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Cold cracking

Underfill

Porosity

Lack of fusion

Question 3: How does "residual stress testing" help in the inspection of aerospace components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It identifies areas where internal stresses may lead to premature failure

It tests the fatigue life of materials exposed to high frequencies

It quantifies the surface roughness to optimize aerodynamics

It measures the weight distribution of parts under load

Question 4: Why is it essential to use material handling equipment that is rated for the specific weight and dimensions of aerospace components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

To increase the production speed without considering safety

To prevent material damage or accidents due to improper lifting or support

To simplify the training process for operators handling aerospace materials

To save costs on equipment that is not specifically designed for heavy components

Question 5: How does "alignment" affect the overall performance of an aerospace structure during assembly?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It improves the thermal resistance of the structure

It enhances the fatigue resistance of parts during operation

Misalignment can lead to stress concentrations and part failures

It reduces the overall cost of production

Question 6: How does "thermal expansion" affect the assembly of aerospace components?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces the accuracy of the final part dimensions

It enhances the material strength during the assembly process

It improves the fatigue resistance of materials during assembly

It causes materials to expand or contract, potentially affecting fit tolerances
