Study Notes
Wing Skin Damage Assessment
- Smooth dents in wing skin are acceptable if they are free from cracks, abrasions, and sharp corners.
- Dents must not be stress wrinkles and should not obstruct any internal structures or mechanisms.
- Damage occurring in low stress zones can be categorized as negligible if:
- Cracks, deep scratches, or sharp dents can be encompassed within a two-inch circle using trimming or stop-drilling techniques.
- The damaged area is situated at least one diameter of the enclosing circle away from rivet lines and edges of the material.
- Stop drilling is a temporary solution; a permanent repair should be implemented as soon as possible after the stop drilling.
