How to proceed:
5 June 2018
AMM Limits not to exceed are indicated for Fuel, Hydraulic leaks
noted during visual inspection.
Do not disregard minor indication of leakages which may get
worse.
• Structural damages.
Bird strikes and ground handling are one of the major causes.
Proper inspection and damage assessment has to be performed.
Note: with the new type of carbon fuselage which is coming back to
its initial shape after an impact, in case of slight doubt use the line
check tool.
Scratches, dents, cracks or erosion have to be inspected and
corrective action to be carried out in the best possible time.
• Lightning strikes.
Even if not reported by the Flight Crew, keep always a look for
missing static dischargers, the extremities and engine cowls for
black spots on the point.

Refer to the CDL (Configuration Deviation List) for items which are
allowed to be missing.
The CDL list is found in the Flight Manual Chap 6.
A CDL item must be corrected within the shortest possible time.
