Study Notes

  • FAA Repair Station and Quality Control Manual (RSQCM) Appendix B gives guidelines for composite repair shops.
  • It covers organization, training, facilities, repair procedures, equipment, and material handling.

Organization

  • The composite shop's organizational chart is detailed in Chapter 1, Section 1.2 of the RSQCM.

Training Program

  • Theoretical and practical courses are available for technicians and supervisors.
  • Training focuses on aircraft structure and composite repairs.
  • Courses cover component preparation, hardware dismantling, and material identification.

Facilities

  • Composite shop facilities are described in Chapter 4, Section D of the RSQCM.

Repair Technical Data, Procedures, and Records

  • Structural Repair Manuals (SRM) guide repairs.
  • The AMOS computer system manages repair processes.
  • Maintenance and inspection records are digitally stored for future reference.

Equipment, Tooling, and Calibration

  • Tools and equipment have unique identification numbers, tracked via AMOS.
  • Calibration and maintenance are ensured per OEM CMM requirements.

Tool Handling

  • Tools are registered, assigned to owners, and managed by work-area staff.
  • Damaged or uncertified tools are quarantined.

Calibration

  • The Metrology Laboratory calibrates tools and equipment to ISO/IEC-17025 standards.

Material Handling

  • Parts and materials undergo visual inspection for defects and documentation.
  • Compliance with ATA 300 specifications is verified during receiving inspection.
  • Pre-impregnated materials must be sealed and frozen at -18°C.

Documentation (Material Handling)

  • Receiving Inspectors verify documents like Authorized Release Certificates and Certificates of Conformity.
  • Shop Findings Reports are checked for compliance with customer specifications and approved vendor lists.

Rejection and Quarantine (Material Handling)

  • Parts with discrepancies are quarantined.
  • Findings are recorded in AMOS or using forms like the Suspected Unapproved Aircraft Parts Notification.

Final Steps

  • Serviceable labels are stamped and signed after inspection.

  • Components are then sent to the appropriate outstation.

  • The manual ensures compliance with FAA regulations and industry standards.

  • Traceability, documentation, and quality control is emphasized.
