When marking fastener locations, which view should you check according to best practices?

In aerospace assembly, ensuring accurate fastener placement is critical for structural integrity and safety. The side view of the assembly offers a comprehensive perspective that can provide insight into the alignment and spacing of components, which is essential for proper fastener location.

Using the side view allows for the examination of vertical relationships between parts, which may not be adequately conveyed through a top-down view. This perspective helps in verifying that fasteners do not interfere with other elements in the assembly, such as protrusions or adjacent components. Moreover, the side view often highlights any necessary angular adjustments that should be considered for fastener installation.

While other views might offer valuable information, they may not provide the same level of detail concerning vertical alignment, depth, or potential conflicts that could arise in the assembly. Thus, referencing the side view aligns with best practices in ensuring precise and effective fastener location within the assembly.
