Description
1 General
This Structure Repair Manual (SRM), Document No. 02305 is part of the Interactive Electronic Technical
Publication (IETP), Document No. 02307 and published on a DVD or downloaded from the Pilatus website.
The SRM uses the S1000D specification as a guideline and is assembled from Data Modules (DM), which are
written in ASD-STE100 Simplified English (SE).
The SRM is provided to support the continuing airworthiness of the PC-12/47E airplane for its operational life.
The technical content of this document is approved under the authority of the DOA ref. EASA.21J.357.
The SRM gives sufficient information for maintenance personnel to do inspections and general and specific repairs
to the PC 12/47E aircraft structure. It has data modules to help personnel locate, classify and repair damage.
In the structure identification DM, the assembly installation drawing number is given for reference. In some cases,
the assembly drawing index letter is also given (the drawing Issue letter).
For change tracking purposes, the drawing index letter is only listed for assembly installation drawings (cannot be
ordered) and not on parts that could be received by the customer. There will be no disparity between the index
displayed on parts received and the index as shown in the SRM. The philosophy of including the drawing index
letter cannot be introduced globally immediately, but will be included as opportunity allows and where deemed
appropriate.
Information which is beyond the scope of this manual may be found in the following manuals:
− Aircraft Maintenance Manual, Document No. 02300
− Illustrated Parts Data, Document No. 02308
− Tool and Equipment Manual, Document No. 02306

− Length and Spacing - Pitch and Edge Distance and Surface Limits, refer to Para 5.
2 Rivet Identification
All solid rivets used are MS or NAS type. MS and NAS rivets can be identified as follows:
− One recessed dot on the manufactured rivet head identifies the material as aluminum alloy (AA2117-T4)
− Two recessed dots on the manufactured rivet head identify the material as monel (AMS7233)
− A raised double dash identifies the material as aluminum alloy (AA2024-T4).
The part number of a rivet also identifies the type, the material specification and the dimensions of the rivet. Two
examples of rivet part numbers are given below in Table 2.
Rivet standard
Head style:
Material code:
AD = Al Alloy (AA2117-T4)
DD = Al Alloy (AA2024-T4)
M = Monel (AMS7233)
A = Anodize, clear
D = Anodize, dichormate seal (yellow color)
The rivet material is not harder than the material of the structure it is riveted where possible.
The material of the rivet is equivalent to the material of the structure unless otherwise stated. For example, steel
rivets are not used in aluminum structure. Rivets can be installed with an applicable sealant to prevent corrosion
when instructed in the repair procedure.
UNCLASSIFIED
The repair procedure or engineering drawing specifies the correct rivet diameter and length unless a dummy rivet
length is given.
The thickness of the joint is measured when the rivet length is not given or a dummy length is given in the repair
procedure. This thickness is called the grip length (S).
Total rivet length (L) is calculated from the grip length (S) and the allowance to make the upset head.
The length necessary to make the upset head is added to the grip length (S) to get the total rivet length (L)
necessary.
The total thickness of the joint must be sufficient for the rivet. Pilatus Aircraft Ltd must be contacted when the
material is not sufficiently thick for the rivet.
The number before the dash number in the rivet part number gives the nominal rivet diameter (D) as a multiple of
1/32 of an inch (for example: “AD3” = a 3/32 in diameter rivet).
An oversize rivet can be necessary when a rivet hole is oversize. Use of an oversize rivet must be given in a repair
procedure or approved by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.
The last dash number in the rivet part number gives the rivet length (L) as a multiple of 1/16 of an inch (for
example: “-3” = a 3/16 in length rivet).
The rivet length (L) is measured from the top of the manufactured rivet head for countersunk rivets. The rivet length
(L) is measured from below the manufactured rivet head for all other rivet types.
The grip length (S) is the thickness of material that the rivet must go through, refer to Fig. 1 .
The grip length (S) (total thickness of the joint) is added to the length of rivet shank necessary to make the driven
(upset) head to calculate the total rivet length (L) necessary. The length of rivet shank necessary to make the
driven (upset) head is expressed as a multiple of D. Where D is the nominal rivet diameter. Table 3 is used to
calculate the total rivet length (L).
Table 3 Calculation of Rivet Length (L) for a Given Grip Length (S)
Rivet Material / Type Rivet Length Formula
Aluminum, d ≤ 4,00 mm (0.157 in) L = S + 1.35 x D
Aluminum, d > 4,00 mm (0.157 in) L = S + 1.25 x D
Monel L = S + 0.8 x D
100 degree driven flush head, standard L = S + 0.7 x D
100 degree driven flush head, reduced L = S + 0.3 x D
5 Length and Spacing - Pitch and Edge Distance and Surface Limits
Rivet pitch is the distance between the centers of two rivet holes. The nominal rivet pitch is between six and seven
times the diameter of the rivet.
The rivet pitch necessary for solid rivets with a universal head is the same as the rivet pitch necessary for solid
countersunk rivets.
UNCLASSIFIED
The minimum edge distance is the distance from the center of the rivet hole to the edge of the material, refer to
Fig. 2 . Unless otherwise specified, the minimum edge distance is:
2xD
Where D = the nominal diameter of the rivet) for universal and countersunk rivets.
The driven (upset) head is not permitted to be installed on a radius, refer to Fig. 2 .
The driven (upset) head is permitted to be installed on a convex surface, refer to Fig. 2 .

Procedure
1 CAUTION
BE CAREFUL NOT TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ADJACENT STRUCTURE WHEN RIVETS
ARE REMOVED:
− SUPPORT THE STRUCTURE DURING THE PROCEDURE WHEN POSSIBLE WITH A
DOLLY OR EQUIVALENT
− TAKE CARE NOT TO APPLY TOO MUCH FORCE DURING THE PROCEDURE
− TAKE CARE NOT TO DRILL INTO THE ADJACENT STRUCTURE
− MAKE SURE THAT THE DRILLS AND CLEARANCE DRIFT ARE PERPENDICULAR TO
THE ADJACENT STRUCTURE.
AN OVERSIZE RIVET MUST BE INSTALLED AT THE RIVET POSITION IF THE RIVET HOLES
BECOME ENLARGED. IF AN OVERSIZE RIVET IS INSTALLED, THE ENLARGED HOLE MUST
BE IN THE OVERSIZE BORE TOLERANCES. THERE ARE LIMITS FOR THE NUMBER OF
OVERSIZE RIVETS THAT CAN BE INSTALLED IN A STRUCTURAL COMPONENT. A REPAIR
OR PART REPLACEMENT CAN BE NECESSARY IF TOO MANY RIVET HOLES BECOME
ENLARGED.
Removal
Note
Before you do this procedure on the aircraft structure you can do it on the same rivet type installed in a
test piece to make sure that:
− The Drill stop (Pt.No. Local supply) is set to the correct depth and you do not drill into the adjacent
structure
− You drill deep enough to remove the rivet head with minimal force
− The Parallel pin punch (Pt.No. Local supply) or Clearance drift (Pt.No. Local supply) is the
correct size and does not damage the adjacent structure.
1.1 Use a Dolly (Pt.No. Local supply) or equivalent to support the upset head side of the structure
adjacent to the rivet when there is access space.
1.2 Mark the center of the rivet head with a Center punch (Pt.No. Local supply) or equivalent if the rivet
does not have a one dimple in the center of the manufactured rivet head:
− Make sure that the Center punch (Pt.No. Local supply) is in the center of the head with precision,
refer to Step 1 in Fig. 1
UNCLASSIFIED
− Do not use the Center punch (Pt.No. Local supply) if the underlying structure can be deformed
from the impact.
1.3 CAUTION
USE A DRILL STOP TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT DRILL TOO DEEP AND INTO THE
ADJACENT STRUCTURE:
− SET THE DRILL STOP TO DRILL TO A DEPTH OF ‘D’ (WHERE D < H AND ‘H’ IS THE
DEPTH OF THE RIVET HEAD)
− DEPTH D MUST BE DEEP ENOUGH TO LET THE RIVET HEAD TO BE REMOVED
WITH MINIMAL FORCE BUT MUST NOT LET THE DRILL GO INTO THE ADJACENT
STRUCTURE.
YOU CAN CAUSE DAMAGE THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED IF YOU DRILL INTO THE
ADJACENT STRUCTURE BY MISTAKE.
Use the correct size pre-drill (refer to Table 6) and drill into the center of the rivet head to the depth D
(refer to Step 2 in Fig. 1 ).
1.4 Use a drill size 0,100 to 0,500 mm (0.004 to 0.020 in) smaller than the rivet diameter and drill into the
center of the rivet head to the depth D (refer to Step 3 in Fig. 1 ).
1.5 Insert a Parallel pin punch (Pt.No. Local supply) or Clearance drift (Pt.No. Local supply) of the correct
diameter into the hole of the rivet head (refer to Step 4 in Fig. 1 ).
1.6 Twist and pull the Parallel pin punch (Pt.No. Local supply) or Clearance drift (Pt.No. Local supply) to
remove the head from the rivet tail (refer to Step 5 in Fig. 1 ).
1.7 Use a Parallel pin punch (Pt.No. Local supply) or Clearance drift (Pt.No. Local supply) of the correct
diameter with sufficient clearance to carefully push the rivet tail through the hole (refer to Step 6 in
Fig. 1 ).
1.8 If it is difficult to remove the rivet tail in Step 1.7 (refer to Step 6 in Fig. 1 ):
− Use the pre-drill to drill into the rivet shank again
− Drill to a depth that lets the rivet become easy to remove
− Do Step 1.7 again.
1.9 Remove the rivet tail and the swarf from the work area.
1.10 Do a check for deformation of the structure caused by the rivet removal process.
2 Installation
2.1 To install a rivet in a new location as part of an approved repair procedure only:
− Make sure that rivet position is correctly marked or transferred from the aircraft structure in
accordance with the instructions of the repair procedure
− Use a pre-drill as necessary to increase the diameter of the hole before you drill the final
clearance size (refer to Table 6)
− Drill the rivet hole to the final clearance size (refer to Table 6).
2.2 Make sure that the rivet hole is not elongated and is in the tolerance for the necessary clearance drill
given in Table 6.
2.3 For countersunk solid rivets only:
2.3.1 Make sure that the countersink angle (a) of the hole is the same as the angle (a) of the countersunk
rivet, refer to Fig. 2 .
2.3.2 Make sure that the angular deviation (A) of the countersink is parallel to the axis of the hole, refer to
Fig. 2 . You can use a Countersink, with guide pin (Pt.No. Local supply) or a combined Tool, drill with
countersink (Pt.No. Local supply) to do this.
UNCLASSIFIED
2.3.3 Countersink the hole as necessary to get the fastener in the protrusion tolerances given in Table 7 for
the specific aircraft area and zone, refer to Fig. 2 .
2.3.4 When countersunk rivets are used to attach nutplates you can grind them flush when:
− The countersunk heads are in an area of an electrical contact surface for electrical bonding
− The surface of another part is to be installed on top of the adjacent surface of the rivet head.
Solid rivets with a reduced countersunk head (for example NAS1097) cannot be ground flush.
Before the countersunk rivet is ground flush it can protrude up to a maximum of 0,200 mm (0.008 in).
2.3.5 For countersunk driven (upset) heads, refer to Fig. 2 :
− Use a countersink tool with the correct angle as defined in the specific repair procedure
− Countersink the driven (upset) head side of the skin in accordance with the data given in Table 8.
2.4 Make sure that there is no rivet hole eccentricity (V) between the parts, refer to Fig. 3 . When you find
rivet hole eccentricity in aluminum rivets only:
2.4.1 Rework the holes to make them elliptical and remove the eccentricity up to a maximum of 10% of total
aluminum rivet holes per rivet row.
2.4.2 Make sure that the diameter A is in the limits given in Table 6 for hole diameter tolerance.
2.4.3 Make sure that the maximum diameter B of the reworked hole is in 10% of diameter A.
2.5 Deburr the rivet hole:
Note
Each side of a rivet hole of a part is deburred to let the rivet be installed closely to the surface and that
no cracks are created when the driven (upset) head is formed.
2.5.1 Deburr the hole only if necessary, refer to Fig. 4 :
− Burrs between riveted aluminum parts are permitted up to a maximum of 0,200 mm (0.008 in)
− The base material must not be damaged
− Bent burrs are not permitted.
2.5.2 Deburr the side of each hole individually where to manufactured head of the rivet is to be installed by
hand with a Core drill (Pt.No. Local supply) or equivalent.
2.5.3 Apply a File piece (Pt.No. Local supply) with rounded edges across the burred rivet hole on the side of
each hole where the driven (upset) head of the rivet is to be installed (refer to Fig. 5 ).
Note
A File piece (Pt.No. Local supply) with rounded edges is used on the driven (upset) head side to
prevent primer damage.
2.5.4 Make sure that you remove the burr only and do not make a chamfer the hole edges. The maximum
permitted amount of chamfer on the hole edges after deburr is 0,200 mm (0.008 in).
2.5.5 Make sure that there are no unwanted particles trapped between the skins.
2.5.6 Unless otherwise stated in the repair procedure:
− Make Absorbent paper (Pt.No. P02-031) moist with Isopropyl (isopropanol) (Pt.No. P01-011) and
fully clean the repair area
− Do this until moist absorbent paper stays clean when applied to the surface
− Use the cleaning agents and materials as specified in the repair procedure when different to the
above.
2.5.7 Repair the primer layer if it is damaged.
UNCLASSIFIED
Note
For example an individual replacement rivet is installed wet with sealant if the damaged rivet was
originally installed wet with sealant.
2.10 Put the rivet in the hole so the driven (upset) head of the rivet is, unless otherwise stated in the repair
procedure:
− On the inside of the aircraft
− On the side of the harder material
− On the side of the thicker material.
The manufactured head of the rivet is installed on the side where the rivet symbols are shown in
illustrations of the repair procedures.
2.11 Apply a layer of the applicable sealant to each rivet only when instructed in the repair procedure and
put the rivets in the applicable holes:
− Make sure that the bottom surface of the universal manufactured head fully touches and is flush
with the top surface of the part or
− Make sure that the bottom surface of the countersunk manufactured head fully touches and is
flush with the top surface adjacent to the countersink.
2.12 Drive the rivet shank with a suitable Rivet gun (Pt.No. Local supply) or Squeezer (Pt.No. Local supply)
until a driven (upset) head is formed, refer to Figure 6:
− Support the manufactured head of the rivet with a Dolly (Pt.No. Local supply)
UNCLASSIFIED
− You must use the correct Dolly (Pt.No. Local supply) or Die, shaped (Pt.No. Local supply) with a
form that is correct for the manufactured rivet head for protruding head rivets
− Install the rivets from the center of a rivet row outwards where possible.
2.12.1 When you install a rivet with an air-operated Rivet gun (Pt.No. Local supply), refer to Fig. 7 :
− Form the driven (upset) head with the smallest number of blows to reduce work hardening of the
material which can make the material brittle
− Make sure that the weight of the air-operated Rivet gun (Pt.No. Local supply) and
Dolly (Pt.No. Local supply) is correct for the size and specification of the rivet type (obey the
manufacturer’s instructions)
− Use the indirect method for aluminum rivets wherever possible where the blows are directed at
the manufactured head and the driven (upset) head is formed by the Dolly (Pt.No. Local supply)
− Use the direct method for monel rivets wherever possible where the manufactured head is
supported by the Dolly (Pt.No. Local supply) and the driven (upset) head is formed by the hammer
of the Rivet gun (Pt.No. Local supply).
3 Inspection
3.1 Examine the rivet heads for correct size and shape, refer to Fig. 6 :
3.1.1 Make sure that the driven (upset) heads are in the dimensional limits:
− For aluminum solid rivets, refer to Table 9 and View A of Fig. 6
− For monel solid rivets in aluminum, refer to Table 10 and View A of Fig. 6
− For monel solid rivets in steel or titanium parts, refer to Table 11 and View A of Fig. 6
− For countersunk driven (upset) heads, you can grind the driven (upset) head flush when more
than the protrusion tolerances, refer to Table 7 and Fig. 2 .
3.1.2 Make sure that the manufactured head of universal head rivets is in the permitted limits for
manufactured head defects, refer to View B of Fig. 6 .
3.1.3 Make sure that the manufactured head of countersunk rivets is in the permitted protrusion tolerances,
refer to Table 7 and Fig. 2 . You can do rework to make the manufactured head in the limits, refer to
Step 4.3.
3.1.4 Make sure that the driven (upset) flush head of applicable rivets is in the permitted protrusion
tolerances, refer to Table 7 and Fig. 2 .
3.1.5 If there is a stepped driven (upset) head, refer to View C of Fig. 6 :
− Make sure that the protrusion is removed
− Make sure that the height h is in the limits given in Table 9, Table 10 or Table 11 as applicable.
3.1.6 Make sure that the driven (upset) head is in the eccentric limits and the shank is not visible, refer to
View D of Fig. 6 .
3.1.7 Make sure that the driven (upset) head is in the limits if it is one-sided upset, refer to View F of Fig. 6 :
− The applicable size limits of a normal driven (upset) head are applicable (refer to Step 3.1.1)
− H - h = Maximum 1/3 x d for aluminum rivets
− H - h = Maximum 1/6 x d for monel rivets.
3.1.8 Make sure that the driven (upset) head is not bell shaped, refer to View G of Fig. 6 .
Note
A bell shaped driven (upset) head is formed when an insufficient weight of air-operated gun and/or die
is used.
3.2 Examine the driven (upset) heads for cracks, refer to View H of Fig. 6 :
UNCLASSIFIED
3.2.1 Make sure that the driven (upset) head of AA2117 rivets has no cracks you can see without
magnification.
3.2.2 Use a Magnifier (x4) (Pt.No. Local supply) to look for cracks. Cracks are permitted as follows:
− The cracks must not continue into the end face of the driven (upset) head
− The cracks must not be in a position that they can cause a failure of the driven (upset) head after
possible crack growth
− No cracks are permitted in the first and last rivets of a row
− Cracks are permitted for a maximum of 10% of the rivets in a row
− Only two rivets with cracks are permitted adjacent to each other
− Radial hairline cracks are permitted in the driven (upset) head of the rivet.
Remove and install the rivet again if a crack is not in these limits.
3.2.3 For cracks in the driven (upset) head of AA2024 (DD) rivets:
− Visible cracks without magnification are permitted
− Make sure that the cracks are in the limits given in Step 3.2.2.
3.2.4 Make sure that the driven (upset) heads of monel rivets have no cracks. No cracks are permitted in
monel rivets.
3.3 Examine the heads for unwanted clearances (gaps), refer to Views J and K of Fig. 6 :
3.3.1 Make sure that you cannot insert a 0,050 mm (0.002 in) Feeler gage (Pt.No. Local supply) under the
manufactured head and touch the rivet shank. An unwanted clearance (gap) is when you can insert
a 0,050 mm (0.002 in) Feeler gage (Pt.No. Local supply) under the manufactured head and touch the
rivet shank.
3.3.2 Make sure that there are not unwanted clearances (gaps) in the rivet joints of pressurised cabin or fuel
tank. An unwanted clearance (gap) in a rivet joint that is part of a pressurised cabin or fuel tank is not
permitted.
3.3.3 Make sure that you do not mistake a chamfer at the edge of a countersunk rivet for an unwanted
clearance (gap).
3.3.4 When the rivet joint is not part of a pressurised cabin or a fuel tank:
3.3.4.1 Make sure that the clearance (gap) is less than 0,100 mm (0.004 in) at the circumferential edge of the
manufactured head:
− For curved surfaces, a clearance (gap) in a radial direction of universal head rivets is permitted
and can be more than 0,100 mm (0.004 in) but must be equal on both sides
− For curved surfaces, a clearance (gap) in a in a longitudinal direction is not permitted.
3.3.4.2 Make sure that a countersunk rivet is flush with the adjacent structure:
− Make sure that you cannot insert a 0,050 mm (0.002 in) Feeler gage (Pt.No. Local supply) under
the manufactured head and touch the rivet shank
− Make sure that the clearance (gap) at the edge of the manufactured head is less than 0,100 mm
(0.004 in)
− Make sure that the clearance (gap) is less than 180 degrees around the circumferential edge of
the manufactured head.
3.3.5 Make sure that you cannot insert a 0,050 mm (0.002 in) Feeler gage (Pt.No. Local supply) under the
driven (upset) head and touch the rivet shank. An unwanted clearance (gap) is when you can insert
a 0,050 mm (0.002 in) Feeler gage (Pt.No. Local supply) under the driven (upset) head and touch the
rivet shank.
UNCLASSIFIED
3.4 Examine the rivet joint for unwanted clearances (gaps), refer to Views L and M of Fig. 6 :
3.4.1 Make sure that a clearance (gap) between the riveted parts is less than 0,200 mm (0.008 in). A
clearance (gap) of less than 0,200 mm (0.008 in) is permitted when:
− There is no interfay sealant applied between the surfaces
− You cannot insert a 0,050 mm (0.002 in) Feeler gage (Pt.No. Local supply) into the clearance
(gap) and touch the rivet shank.
4 Rework
4.1 When the driven (upset) head is oversize for height h and undersize for diameter D, refer to View A of
Fig. 6 :
− Do Step 2.12 again to make the driven (upset) head the correct size and shape
− Do this until it is in the limits given in Step 3.1
− Do the rivet inspection again, refer to Step 3.
4.2 When the driven (upset) head stays undersize or oversize:
− Remove the rivet
− Install the next size rivet length (shorter or longer) to that specified in the repair procedure (or
calculate the rivet length again when no length is given)
− Do the rivet inspection again, refer to Step 3.
Note
For further information on rivet length and rivet length calculation, refer to 12-B-51-40-01-00A-041A-A.
4.3 You can rework solid countersunk rivets with a regular manufactured head that are outside of the
protrusion limits as follows:
4.3.1 Grind the head up to a maximum of 10% height reduction until the it is in the protrusion limits or flush.
4.3.2 Do not grind solid rivets with a reduced countersunk head (for example NAS1097). This is not
permitted.
4.3.3 Do the rivet inspection again, refer to Step 3.
4.4 When the solid rivet is not in the limits for unwanted clearance (gaps) under the manufactured head as
given in Step 3.3:
− Do Step 2.12 again to drive the manufactured head into the countersunk rivet hole
− Do the rivet inspection again, refer to Step 3.

carefully remove the rivets, refer to 12-B-51-40-03-00A-041A-A.
6 Remove the damaged panel (Figure 1 [1], Figure 1 [2], Figure 1 [3], Figure 1 [4] or Figure 1 [5]).
7 Remove the unwanted particles from the repair area.
8 Make Absorbent paper (Pt.No. P02-031) moist with Solvent (Pt.No. P01-010) and fully clean the cove
ribs:
− Remove the unwanted sealant
− Use a Scraper, non-metallic (Pt.No. Local supply) to carefully remove the sealant if necessary
− Clean the parts until clean moist absorbent paper stays clean when applied to the surfaces.
9 Put the repair panel (Figure 1 [1], Figure 1 [2], Figure 1 [3], Figure 1 [4] or Figure 1 [5]) in position:
9.1 Make sure that the edge of the repair panel aligns with the cove ribs as shown, refer to View C in
