STRUCTURAL REPAIR MANUAL

DATA RECORDING OF ALLOWABLE DAMAGE AND REPAIRS

1. General
A. Good record keeping of allowable damage rework and repairs performed on
the throughout its life is essential for the following reasons:
- in case of additional damage in the same or adjacent area, which may
require additional operating limits,
- to ensure adequate follow up of any additional inspection requirements
for allowable damage and repairs,
- to ensure adequate follow up of permanent repair embodiment following
temporary allowable damage or repair,
- in case of future requirement to trace back the damage or repair hisÈ
tory or background.
B. Information of general repair details that should be recorded in repair
data form:
- A/C model, type, series and weight variant
- manufacturers serial number, A/C registration and serial number (if on
a removable component)
- type of damage (dent, scratch, nick, crack, corrosion etc.)
- action taken including references.
C. Location of repair that should be recording in repair data form:
- sketch or drawing
- photograph (optional)
- general location - e.g. fuselage nose section lower LH Skin or LH OutÈ
board Flap L/E etc.
- detailed location - e.g. between FR XX and FR YY, Stringer A and
Stringer B or 200mm from STA XXX etc.
- dimensions to existing structural details (distance to stringer, frames
etc.).
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 51-11-13 for more details.
D. Dimension of the repair:
- length, width or diameter, orientation and any additional dimensions
defining the damage or repair geometry
- size of cut-out if applicable, depth of dent, etc.
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 51-11-13 for more details.
E. Proximity to adjacent repairs, original doublers, mods or production
joints:
- identify any repair(s) or damage located on the same or adjacent comÈ
ponent (e.g. within one stringer, rib or frame bay of the primary reÈ
pair)

- distance fastener to fastener from adjacent repair, original doublers,

mods or production joints.
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 51-11-13 for more details.
F. Time of repair embodiment:
- date, number of flight cycles and flight hours at time of installaÈ
tion.
G. Allowable damage limit or Repair design:
- SRM chapter, figure and revision of allowable damage limit or repair
figure used (i.e. A320 SRM Revision Aug-02 chapter 53-00-12 Fig.202)
- reference to approved source data if not SRM (e.g. Airbus TD and RAS
etc) and approved source document itsel
- fastener type (solid, blind, head shape) including material and number
of fastener rows
- fastener dimensions (diameter, grip length etc.), rivet pitch, rivet
row distance (rounded to min.)
- surface protection
- cold working of rivet holes (if any)
- fastener fit
- original skin thickness at cut out/run out.
H. Type of repair, inspection requirements and/or removal time limit:
- Temporary allowable damage limit
- Permanent allowable damage inspection threshold, interval and NTM
method
- Temporary repair limit
- Permanent repair inspection threshold, interval and NTM method
- SRI IIR reference
- RAS reference.
I. Additional comments or SRM deviations
The Repair Data Form is provided to facilitate recording of the above.
Data collected on the form is may be required in the future to deterÈ
mine the supplemental inspection requirements or other actions, e.g. fuÈ
ture repair assessment as part of a Design Life Goal extension program
for example.
