Aircraft Station Number
Station numbering system are used to facilitate the location of specific wing frames,
fuselage bulkheads, or any other structural members on an aircraft. Most manufacturers use
some system of station marking. For example, the nose of the aircraft may be designated
“zero station,” and all other stations are located at measured distances in inches behind the
zero station. Thus, when a blueprint reads “fuselage frame station 137,” that particular frame
station can be located 137 inches behind the nose of the aircraft.

To locate structures to the right or left of the center line of an aircraft, a similar
method is employed. Many manufacturers consider the center line of the aircraft to be a zero
station from which measurements can be taken to the right or left to locate an airframe
member. This is often used on the horizontal stabilizer and wings.

Another method is used to facilitate the location of aircraft components on air

transport aircraft. This involves dividing the aircraft into zones. These large areas or major
zones are further divided into sequentially numbered zones and subzones. The digits of the
zone number are reserved and indexed to indicate the location and type of system of which
the component is a part.
