Like I said, one for every hole.

Seriously, you made that up. Right?

It depends on the airplane. Go down to Maintenence and ask on of the mechanics to show you the rivot count in the maintenence log. They have to keep track because it changes sometimes when they make repairs. It's a pretty common question on check rides so it's good to know where to find it.

No, it's not. It's a useless trivium, and any check airman who asks the question (other than for a joke) is just playing I'm-Going-to-Show-You-How-Much-I-Know-and-You-DON'T. Just like Jason's frat brothers are doing.

In as in how many are supposed to be there as part of it's construction or in as how many are rattling around inside unneeded when it leaves the factory

Dang, I told like 4 people there are 172 rivets in a 172, and 182 in a 182, and they figured it was right. HAHA

...The correct answer being, "One for every hole, Chief!.....

I don't know, I've flown some 152's with some empty holes
