"S33". Do you know what this refers to ...

"S33". Do you know what this refers to ...

"S33". Do you know what this refers to ...

(OP)
...in the context of A/C structures qualifications or experience? Thanks.

RE: "S33". Do you know what this refers to ...

I've come across S33 in a couple of contexts, both as a material spec. for stainless steel (part of BS1449) and as a project number for a modified Shorts C-class flying boat, optimised for transatlantic travel.

I think you may need to be more specific regarding the area the information you're after lies in.

RE: "S33". Do you know what this refers to ...

Sorry! - that answer doesn't scan well.

What I meant was, where have you come across the term?

Was it part of a job requirement / preferred experience / etc?



RE: "S33". Do you know what this refers to ...

(OP)
Thanks for your response Rikman. This term is being used in the context of hiring preferences for structures work. It says simply "S33 preferred". I have training & experience in AC structural repair & maintenance but this term baffles me. I may just come out & ask them but I'd rather find out what it means on my own.

RE: "S33". Do you know what this refers to ...

S33 means that you must be well-trained in the area od aluminium riveted sheet metal for aircraft.

Yes, thanks ramesh75. I found out that it's actually a Canadian Dept of Transport certification that allows one to self inspect & pass one's own stuctural work. It's relativly new.

RE: "S33". Do you know what this refers to ...

S33 is a material spec. used here in the UK to designate stainless steel.
