Study Notes
Cowling Repair
- Extensively damaged cowling skins require replacement with new complete sections.
- Standard insert-type patches can be used for repair if they are formed to fit the cowling's contour.
- Small cracks can be stop-drilled and small dents straightened if reinforced on the inner surface with a doubler of the same material.
- Damaged reinforcement angles should be replaced with new parts, as they are easier to install than to repair.
- New reinforcement angles are typically easier to install due to their small size.
