Consider the following statements about the distinction between primary and secondary structure:

1. Failure of primary structure would endanger the aircraft.

2. Primary structure attracts stricter inspection and repair control.

3. A wing fairing is an example of primary structure.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 2 only
  • B.1 and 3 only
  • C.2 and 3 only
  • D.1, 2 and 3

Answer: A

The first two are correct and follow from the definition. The third is wrong: a fairing carries no flight, ground or pressure load whose loss would hazard the aircraft, so it is secondary structure and is treated far less stringently.
