The drawing where subassemblies are shown as brought together on the aircraft is called

• A. Exploded view of drawings
• B. An installation drawing
• C. Wiring diagram
• D. Pictorial diagram

Answer: (B)

This question tests recognizing which drawing type shows components in their actual installed arrangement on the aircraft. An installation drawing depicts subassemblies placed together in their final position, showing where they mount, how they align with nearby structures, and how they connect or route with other systems. It’s the drawing you’d use to verify that everything fits together on the airframe and is properly oriented in the built configuration.

An exploded view, by contrast, shows parts separated to illustrate how they fit together, not the installed position. A wiring diagram focuses on electrical circuits and connections, not physical placement. A pictorial diagram provides a general visual representation of a system, usually without precise mounting or assembly details.
