Identification of damage. Use of technical documentations. Selection of materials and Rivets. Tools required. Inspections of repair. Relevant legislations and guide lines.
There are eight major zones for the aircraft. Each major zone is identified by the first digit of a three digits number. The even numbers identify the zones on the right hand side of the aircraft, while odd numbers identify the zones on the left hand side of the aircraft.
Station Numbers:
Buttock line or Butt line (BL) - is a width measurement left or right of, and parallel to, the vertical centre line.
Waterline is the measurement of the height perpendicular from a horizontal plane located below the bottom of the aircraft fuselage.

Station Numbers:
The station number is the distance in centimetres of a cross-section from a reference point.

Find the location of the damage. water line and station number. Nearest frame number and stringer number. Extent of damage: negligible, repairable or discard. Method of repair.
Damage Classification:
All damage must be classified to determine what repair action should be taken. Ultimately, all discrepancies will be placed into one of three categories, negligible damage, non-repairable nondamage or repairable damage.
Negligible Damage:
Negligible damage is damage that can be permitted to exist as is, or corrected by a single cosmetic refinishing procedure with no restrictions on flight operations. This damage may also include some dedelamination, disbonds and voids.
NonNon-repairable Damage:
NonNon-repairable damage exceeds published criteria or limits. (Structural Repair Manual) NonNon-repairable damage may be reclassified as repairable, if the manufacturer prescribes a repair on an individual basis. Normally, non-repairable damage requires the changing nonof components.
Repairable Damage:
Repairable damage is any damage to the skin or structure that cannot be allowed to exist as is without placing performance restrictions on the airframe.

Bird Strike:
Fuselage limitations on repairs in region of static pressure ports, pitotpitot-static probes, angle of airflow sensors. Wing, ailerons, stabilizers, elevators rudder, flats, leading edge slats, spoilers Nacelle and Pylon
Repairs:
Patch Repair
Insert Repair
Crack Propagation:
It is permitted for some types of crack repair to drill a hole at the end of each end of the crack to prevent it from extending any Further.
Repairs:
Complex repair for a Boeing 737 door aperture crack in the bottom corner. This includes multi external repair plates and the crack is stop drilled.
Riveting Terminology: Spacing and Edge Distance Rivet spacing, also referred as rivet pitch, is the distance between the rivets in the same row and is measured from the rivet centre to the rivet centre.
B
Rivet pitch, is the distance between the rivets in the same row and is measured from the rivet centre to the rivet centre.
Where: D = the rivet diameter G = grip (total thickness of material) L = total length of the rivet.
