Introduction

The discussions in this chapter are important to you because they contain the fundamental in formation needed to support repair decisions. This information plus experience will help you to make valid judgments in assessing damage and deciding what is necessary to make trustworthy repairs.

Structural repair methods are numerous and varied, and no set of specific guidelines has been established that can be applied in all repair requirements. Therefore, damage repair problems are usually solved by duplicating the original part in material, strength, and dimensions.

This lesson, divided into five parts, discusses general repair principles, structural repair, stressed skin repairs, internal structure repair, and structural sealing. Because the discussions are general and describe typical repairs made in maintaining Army aircraft, specific repairs for specific aircraft must be made according to the applicable technical manual (TM).
