Tool & Gauge Control
Tool & gauge control is an important part of aviation maintenance systems. Tools & gauges must be
accurate enough for the intended use (i.e. a 12” steel ruler is not the appropriate tool to use to
measure the cylinder bore diameter) & be accurately calibrated by an approved laboratory.
Calibrations must be kept up to date. This means a check calibration every year or more frequently
for regularly used, critical tooling.
Even quality equipment will wear over time so items like reams and go / no-go gauges must
periodically be checked to ensure they remain within limits.

Access to the following tools will be required. All tools must be good quality items:
Imperial Allen keys
Circlip pliers
