Click Bond (Event #17) is a proud to be part of the annual Aerospace Maintenance Competition (AMC). Competitors may use the information below to prepare for our maintenence event.
In this event, competitors will need to utilize their communication, teamwork, and forward-thinking skills to complete an avionic modification to an aircraft panel using an iPad and Click Bond assembly fasteners. Competitors will be guided through a series of steps within the AR on the iPad to repair, install, and place fasteners and components on aircraft piece.
Team members will complete a XR installation sequence:
A) Use provided instructions using the iPad
B) Follow guided instructions in the correct order
C) Accurately repair, install, and place fasteners and components on aircraft piece
D) Follow regular safety protocal and FOD awareness

Nutplates that Eliminate the Need for Rivet Holes
Thousands of Click Bond rivetless nutplates are currently used on both commercial and military aircraft. Adhesive-bonded nutplates don’t require the two rivet-mounting holes needed by riveted nutplates, reducing nutplate installation time by 68%. They provide a high-strength bonded attachment to a variety of materials. Our split-beam nutplates provide approximately 250 reuse cycles, while reducing galling and thread seizing. FLEXBOND® sleeve nutplates provide secondary mechanical retention in addition to the adhesive and lightning strike protection. Learn More.
Swivel Cable-Tie Mounts
Composite-base, swivel cable-tie mounts with nylon or PEEK saddles offer user-designed placement schemes for routing at any angle with the added benefit of aluminum or lightweight composite bases.
Studs and Standoffs
Bonded studs and standoffs create attachment points where drill-through holes or hotwork is not applicable, all while preserving the structural integrity of the substrate.
Adhesive-bonding is ideal for attaching to highly stressed, fatigue critical, pressurized, or fluid boundary structures. That's because there are no installation holes to penetrate the surface.
