Component Identification & Factory Benchmarks
Part identification utilizes a sophisticated alphanumeric indexing system correlated directly to exploded view illustrations. Every listed component, from primary fuselage bulkheads to minute landing gear bushings, is indexed to specific serial number ranges to maintain factory-spec tolerances.
Visual Assembly Schematic Navigation
High-resolution orthographic projections provide detailed visual mapping of complex systems, including the wing flap control mechanisms and the fuel selection manifold. These schematics enable technicians to visualize the exact orientation of washers, spacers, and fasteners within the airframe assembly.
