STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL INTRODUCTION Manufacturers publish Structural Repair Manual (SRM) to provide data for the structural maintenance of commercial airplanes which have sustained structural damage. The Manuals are approved by the Aircraft Manufacturers Aviation Authority, for example: • DGCA DGCA Dire Direct ctio ion n Géné Généra rale le De L’Avi L’Aviat atio ion n Civil Civile e ( Fran France ce)) • FAA :Federal :Federal Aviation Administr Administration( ation( USA) USA) • The Struct Structura urall Repa Repair ir Manu Manual al contai contains ns : mate materia riall identification for structure subject to field repair, typical repairs general applicable to structural components of the airplane that are most likely to be damaged, • information information relative relative to material material substitution, substitution, fastener fastener installation, • airplane airplane alignment alignment check check procedure procedure • and a brief descripti description on of procedures procedures that must must be performed concurrently with structural repair, such as protective treatment of repair parts and sealing of integral fuel tanks. Where repairs are not included, it does not follow that the structure concerned is not repairable. Either it has not been found practicable to design a typical repair, or service experience has not yet indicated a requirement.

In some instances, an adequate repair design will require evaluation by the Manufacturer. Consider the following when typical repairs are not found: • Accomplish Accomplish a repair repair in accordance accordance with with the general general repair practices and procedures provided provided in chapter 51 - Structures General General - of the the manual. manual. • Preparing Preparing a specific specific repair repair design design for the damage damage not covered. • Replacing Replacing of the damaged damaged part. part. As service experience indicates a requirement, the manual will be revised to include actual, specific repairs to both primary and secondary structures. To ensure consistent handling of these revisions, index categories have been established for all known types of repairs, although some information which falls within these categories will not be released until warranty service experience. It is indented that, in the event of a major damage, the information included in the manual be supplemented as required by direct liaison with the repair assigned Manufacturer Customer Support Representative.


STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL For ordering structural repair parts see Spare Parts Identificatio Identification, n, located in the 00- Introductio Introduction n Part. The manual will serve as a medium through which the airplane operators will be advised of actual repairs with general- interest nature, designed by the Manufacturer or by the airplane operator.

SERVICE BULLETINS Service bulletins which have incorporated are listed in the 00 - Introduction Introduction section. section. Service Bulletins are recommendations from Manufacturer, which are not urgent to put into action.




REVISION SERVICE LIST OF EFFECTIVE PAGES

TEMPORARY REVISION SERVICE

The SRM is provided with a List of Effective Pages. All pages are listed in sequence, together with their latest revision date. In Airbus Manuals the list is located in every ATA Chapter. Boeing provides it in the Manuals Introduction. The List of Effective Pages will be revised with each regular revision of the Manual.

Temporary revision service to the manual will be issued as necessary to alert the customer of configuration differences and to provide temporary instructions prior to the next scheduled revision.

REGULAR REVISION SERVICE Revision service to the manual will be issued periodically. Each manual takes a revision number and date of issue on the outside label, to check the effectivity of the hole Manual by a document list. Pages which are revised will be so indicated on the list of effective pages by an asterisk (*) and identified by a date. A revised page may be dated prior to, or as same as, the date of the revision cycle. On each individual page the revised area is indicated by a revision bar on the left margin.

Temporary revision will also be issued as a result of a customer request for planned incorporation of a service bulletin. Each temporary revision will be incorporated into the manual within 90 days from date of issuance, except from those temporary revisions, issued as a result of planned incorporation of a service bulletin. These service bulletin temporary revisions will remain active until the Manufacturer has been advised by the customer that incorporation of the service bulletin into the airplane has been completed. Each temporary revision will apply to one subject only and will be keyed within this manual, so that the temporary revision will be filed adjacent to the affected pages. Temporary revisions will not be revised if changes are required to an existing temporary revision, the temporary revision will be reissued.

carried out.



DAMAGE CATEGORIES After cleaning and investigating the damaged and surrounding area, the damage must be classified into one of the following three categories, also taking into account the location of the damage.

REPAIRABLE DAMAGE The damage must be classified either as “Allowable Damage” or as damage which requires a repair.

Allowable Damage Allowable damage is defined as damage which is slight or of little significance, and is unlikely to be of sufficient severity to propagate further damage in the immediate vicinity.

Note:

Allowable does not mean that repair is unnecessary. For example, scratches and burring are included in this category, and it is necessary to remove rough and sharp edges and smooth out the damage. In addition, any damage to surface coatings and/or protective treatment must be repaired using an approved procedure dealt with under SRM chapter 51.

Non-allowable Damage Damage which exceeds the “Allowable Damage” limits must be repaired by cutting out the damaged area of a structural component and inserting or attaching a reinforcing piece. These specific repairs are to be found in each chapter of the SRM.

NON REPAIRABLE DAMAGE Non repairable damage is defined as damage to structural components which cannot be repaired and where replacement of the complete component is recommended as a repair is not practical or economical.







TYPES OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE In order to facilitate the classification of different repair procedures, the various types of damage are grouped as follows: Mark • A mark is to be understood as a damage area of any size where an accumulation of scratches, nicks, chips, burrs or gouges etc. is present in such a way that the damage must be treated as an area and not as a series of individual scratches, gouges etc. Scratch • A scratch is a line of damage of any depth and length in the material and results in a cross-sectional area change. It is usually caused by contact with a object. Gouge • A gouge is a damage area of any size which results in a cross—sectional area change. It is usually caused by contact with a relatively sharp object which produces a continuous, sharp or smooth channel-like groove in the material. Crack • A crack is a partial fracture or complete break in the material with the most significant cross-sectional area change. Dent • A dent is normally a damage area which is depressed with respect to its normal contour. There is no cross sectional area change in the material; area boundaries are smooth.

Distorsion • Any twisting, bending or permanent strain which results in misalignment or change of shape. May be caused by impact from a foreign object, but usually results from vibration or movement of adjacent attached components. This group includes bending, buckling, deformation, imbalance, misalignment, pinching, and twisting.


REPAIRS Ideally, repairs are designed to meet static and fatigue strength requirements for the service life of the airplane. Practical solutions to repair problems sometimes require a repair which will not necessarily be permanent. These are:

Time Limited Repair • Must be replaced after a specified time with a permanent repair.

Interim Repair • Must be inspected at specified intervals and replaced if there is deterioration. Chapter 52 - 57 of the SRM cover typical repairs for general use and specific repairs for known problems which are generally applicable to all operators. The manual does not include specific repairs where a preventive modification is provided in a service bulletin. Repairs in the manual are authority approved.



STRUCTURE CLASSIFICATION A schematic breakdown of the aircraft structure showing the relationship between primary and secondary structure and ‘Principal Structural Elements’ (PSE). A List of PSE’s is given in the chapter where applicable. The structure of the aircraft is classified either as primary or secondary. Primary structure is that structure whlich contributes significantly to carrying flight, ground and pressurization loads. Secondary structure is that structure which carries only air or inertia Ioads generated on or within the secondary structure. Within the primary structure there are elements that are designated PSE; PSE’s are those elements that contribute signiflcantly to carrying flight, ground and pressurization Ioads, and whose integrity is essential in maintaining the overall structural integrity of the airplane.

NOTE: Where two items that are PSE are connected together and the conconnecting item is removable then the connecting item is also to be considered as PSE. PSE parts are identified in Chapter 51 - Structure Classification.






PROCEDURE FOR MANUAL USAGE The following procedure is recommended for the efficient use of the Structural Repair Manual: 1.

Check for allowable damage.

12. Turn to the repair figure mentioned above, read notes and instructions carefully, and perform the repair according to the figure.

2.

From the Table of Contents of the manual find the chapter to which the damaged part belongs.

13. Use the Table of Contents, att he beginning of each chapter, as a numerical

3.

Turn to the Table of Contents of the selected chapter, find subject number of Allowable Damage.

14. lndex to locate a specific subject within a specific section of a chapter.

4.

Damage Classification - General, to determine if the damage is allowable.

15. Read all the text material, supporting figures and references within a specific subject.

5.

ldentify the damaged part.

6.

lf it is found that the damage exceeds the allowable, the part must be identified in order to determine the applicable repair figure.

16. Chapter 51 lists the sections and subsections generally applicable (except when limited ) to the entire airplane.

7.

From the Table of Contents of that chapter, find subject number of identification figure, that includes the damaged part.

8.

Find the item number of the damaged part from the identification figure.

9.

Check modification status of the damaged part.

10. Turn to tabulation sheet of the identification figure. Find the applicable repair figure number. 11. Apply repair figure to actual damage.

17. Chapters 52,53, 54, 55, 56, and 57 list such sections and subjects which are applicable respectively to those specific chapters only. 18. The use of the table of contents to locate specific repairs, supplements the information given above. 19. Within every chapter ,except 56, any subject which contains the word “repair”, lists each repair figure number and title which is applicable to the specific subject. 20. Look for all the Cross - References to the Maintenance Manual, Process Specifications and Standard Practice Manuals.
