The PBY.6A is an amphibious fying boat designed for both land and water operations. The bull and re- tractable ving tp floats provide a means of landing fon water while the retractable tricycle type landing gear enables the sirplane to land on the ground. 1.3, WING. The wing is a semicantilever beam of con- ventional two-spar akin stringer design braced by two wing-hull struts on each side of the airplane. The wing assembly is composed of a center section and two re. movable outer panels which include the ailerons. At. tachment of the wing to the hull is accomplished by means of the struts and two bolted joints at the cen- ter of the sirplane (at ull bulkheads 4 and 5). 1.4, EMPENNAGE. The PBY.5A empennage has ~ _ been redesigned for the PBY.6A to incorporate over. hanging balances,on the elevatort and rudder and to l decrease the rudder chord and increase the rudder height. The two tails are strvcturally similar. This man ~ ual will discuss the structure of the PBY-6A tail. Where dissimilarity exists the detail design of both will be covered. 1:5. The empennage group consists of « vertical sta- biliner (ie lower hall of which ib an ienegeal ve of the bull), « horizontal stabilizer, « rudder and two watorn, = 4-6. The horizontal sabilizer is 9 two spar construction from the center line to mation & and a ection our, board of this point. Bulkheads are trum type. The whole assembly is covered with 245-T aluenioum alloy sheet on extraded stringers. The stabilizer is attached t0 the lower fin by four large Stings and six smaller intermediate Stings. 1.7.

Two R-1830.92 en- ines are mounted to the center section of the wing by means of welded steel tube engine mounts. 142, The engines are faired by the nacelle faiis which converge to the contour of the top and bottom wing surfeces, 4.13. For a more comprehensive description of the va- rious structural components refer to the section of the handbook covering the specific item. a 1-14, INSPECTION FOR DAMAGE. 1.15. GENERAL. The airplane should be inspected periodically for damaged structure. A thorough exami- nation will permit the preparation of a detailed repair plan which will insure the availability of the necessary materials and tools and will prevent loa of valuable time. Remove all grease, dir, ete, at and in the vi cinity of the damage, so that the extent of cracks, con. dition f rivets, welds, etc, may be accurately de- termined. 1.16, Structural parts should be inspected for dents, - ceracksy holes, scratches, breaks, sharp corners and abrasions, loose, sheared or otherwise damaged rivet clongated river holes, bowing, distortion, worn spots and corrosion. Dents and wrinkling in skin sheeas should be inspected to insure that they are not stress wrinkles caused by failure of vital structure. Bent of twisted structures may be straightened and used un-- leas cracks appear in the straightening process. All cracks should be stop drilled. Large cracks will necessi- tate the use of a new parts . 117, Test watertight joints for leas. Check hinges, fasteners and locking mechanism to determine whecher their operation has been impaired. If damage is to fab- ricccovered surfaces, the internal structure of the Zom. Ponent should be inspected through access holes pro- vided. If damage is in locations where inspection is im. possible because of inaccessibility, access holes should be made in accordance with Sgure 2.28, or the section of fabric chould be removed if access holes do not facilitate complete inspection. 1.18. Experience has shown that when « bullet strikes sheet material, it heatreata the metal ia the vicinity of the bullet hole. This metal is-thus-embrittled and mi- ‘ute cracks are'created by the impact of the bullet, It * good practice therefore to trim a Uberal amount of metal away from bullet and shell holes when cleaning “up she damaged area, 1.19, Inspection should determine the relative amount of work involved in effecting « repair, as compared to that of replacing damaged members with new parts if available. is t 1-20, Included in each section is a separate paragraph containing information pertinent to inspection of dats. ed structure, together with a list of the types of dam- - that may be encountered. Necessary special inspec. | tion procedures are also provided in the applicable se. Pair instruction paragraphs, 121, Whenever damagé to a structure is discovered, the adjacent structure should be carefully inspected for secondary damage. Such secondary damage “fre- quently occurs as a Fesult of overloading caused by the original damage. Since heavy shock loads may be trans. sitted through several structures, rivets and boles may be loosened and sheet metal buckled quite « distance ‘away from the area of primary damage. Rivets should be checked in order to determine if they have sheareds | Terai er ig setae 1.22, Also check for any skin wrinkles, elongated rivet or bolt holes, fine hairline cracks, damaged control ca- | bles or damaged fuel or hydraulic lines. _ 1:23, If the airplane is damaged by shell fre, the route of the projectile should be followed and the above steps taken. @ 22. vers. 1 psriaterly important to check Fivets closely. A rivet may be strained or even sheared ‘off and yet appear normal by catual inspection; rivets | may streich or fail, leaving the head intact. For in. stance, after straightening a beat member all of the structure adjacent to it should be inspected for loose Fiveta. Always use a feeler gage when inspecting for damaged rivets, checking for tipping or rising of heads and for separation of the riveted members at the rivet shanks. Also inspect carefully for elongated rivet holes which may often be detected by a close examination of the sheet surface near the head. The alight impression made in the sheet by the rivet head when driven will be exposed if the rivet has moved in elongating the hole. 1.25. RIVET TYPES. When making repairs the same ‘ype of rivet should be used as in the surrounding struc. ture unless otherwise specified. Rivets vary in head type “and material. Flat head riveu are wed on internal structure while brazier head rivets are generally used om surfaces exposed to the slipstream. 1-26. Countersunk riveti are used for specie pur: ove; either for clearance of to obtain = smooth, low drag external surface for aerodynamic reasons. 1.27.

The entire structure should be inspected at regular intervals for damage from cor. rosion, Aluminum corrosion is especially prevalent wherever moisture tends to collect. Dissimilar metals, er ertn pe and should therefore be closely inspected. Eqtipment which i badly corroded contains deep pits, holes, of cracks, However, corrosion cannot always be detected by visual examination alone, but mey sometimes be foxind under blistered or faking paint. When corrosion | appears on materials having an iron base, it appears in the form of a red rust; om materials having « copper base, as green formations; and on materials having ea slomioum or magnesium base, a1 white formations, ‘The extent of ordinary corrosion can be determined by for pits with a fine needle. The degree of cor vill vary with the type of corrosive medium which contacts the metal, the period of exposure, the | ‘age of the protective paint or oil fillers, and the time which has elapsed between removal of the airplane from the corrosive medium and the inception of Parts which are simply stained or etched with |. stow pining ave generally vice ty So dition occurs in a highly stressed corrosion does not short period of time; however, the effect of any corrosion can be minimized by expediting salvage. For information pertaining to the protection of the structure from damage by corrosion; refer to. the General Manual for Structural Repair (AN O11A.1), 1.36, All ihe slumioum alloys, lad and unclad, isi che sirplane have been anodized, This treatinent provides excellent protection against corrosion of the surface of the metal and results in improved adherence of paint subsequently applied. When facilities are avail- able ‘repair parts should be anodized, otherwise the Parts should be covered with two coats of green primer With thorough drying tishe allowed between costa.“ 7. SHEET. Because of the type of construction ‘wed most of the metal sheets used for the fabrication of the primary structural members of the airplane are rmsd, that is, they” carey load. If the continuity of of this akin is interrupted, the load “must pass the hole. In sone casts this will overloed the srroundig structure and result in a failure. Te ia ism RESTRICTED AN 01-5M-3 Portant therefore that damage to skin be repaired in ‘accordance with the instructions given in the manual. Particular attention shall be given to the rivet pattem used in repairs. 1.38. The 24S-T aluminum alloy used in the construc: tion of che sirplane is in a definite physical condition and its strength will be adversely affected. by the im- proper application of heat in making repairs. All alum. inum alloy parts are installed in the heat-treated (hard) condition. However, in order to fabricate certain parts with small bend radii 248-0 (soft) material must be used. Before such a part may be installed in the ain. plane it is essential that it be HEAT-TREATED to the 245-T (hard) condition. If 24S. material is not avall- able, 24S.T material ‘may be annealed, the part formed and then resheat-treated to 24S.T. S 1.39. The repairs outlined in this manual are designed to call for repair parts to be nade from 245.T when- ever pousible to avoid the heat-treat operation. When,, because of severity of the bend, 245-O material is called, THESE PARTS MUST BE HEAT-TREATED TO 24S-T BEFQRE INSTALLATION IN THE AIR. PLANE. The parts should be heat-treated in detail, chat is before assembly to other repair parts. (Refer to Sse. tion V of the General Manual for Structural Repais, 1.40. Repair illustrations in this manual indicate the bend radius to be used for each repair part. For fabri. cating repair parts not covered by the illustrations, com sult the Gederal Manual for Structural Repair, AN 01; 1A-1, for the proper radius. 1-41, Alclad sheet stock, (aluminum alloy coated with Pure aluminum) is used in the fuel tank area’ of the wing as well as in a few isolated regions throughout the airplane. For purposes of repair, this material tay be treated like ‘aluminum alloy. However, for equal gauges, alclad is weaker than aluminum alloy anid therefore the following two points are important from a. strength ‘standpoint: . iz ee ‘. Aluminum alloy may alvays be substituted for alelad sheet of equal thickness. ar b, Alclad sheet may never be substituted for aluminum alloy unless the lose of stredigth is compen sated by.an appropriate increase of one gauge in sheet 1-42, Most steel parts in the sirplane ‘are heat-treated, ‘Usually the component parts of « steel! assembly axe welded and then the assembly is hestreated. There is an exception to this procedure, however; provided electric are welding is used, it is not necessary to noi imulize an aisembly after welding if the components have been normalized in detail Specific repair procedures for eel assemblies are given in the applicable sections of the manual : che 1.43.

DAMAGE REPAIRABLE BY INSERTION. Repair by insertion may be defined as a repair which by reason of the extent of damage does not lend itself to patching because of the excess weight which would nec- ‘essarily be added. For example if a stringer were dam- aged over a long length the damaged portion would be removed and a new stringer length inserted. The new piece would be spliced into the untouched structure at ‘each end. (See figure 1-5.) 1.57. DAMAGE NECESSITATING REPLACE- MENT. Replacement repair is employed wherever the damage is too serious to employ any of the foregoing methods of repair. It consists of removing the part damaged and replocing it with an identical part or the fabricated structural equivalent. When this repair is employed, the method of attachment, unless, further damage to adjacent members makes deviation necessary, should be the same as thet used in the attachment the original part. Parts damaged by fire must alway be replaced. i 1.58. BALANCING CONTROL SURFACES, 1.59. GENERAL. The possibility that the major con- velop trol surfaces of an airplane might oscillation (flutter) in flight is eliminated by controlling the distribution of weight so chat the balance of the | ir hinge lines is maintained between: its. Most critical is the degree of edge heaviness about the hinge line. Due to ights are added to the leading’ edge to offset some of this unbalance. The addition of weight to the surfaces in the form of repsics may die \ turb the initial unbalance sufficiently to exceed safe. limits and could therefore become possible cause of” destructive oscillation of the surface in tight. Minor patching of fabric surfaces, which adds negligible weight to the control surface, need not be considered catise for checking the balance. The nearer the patch is to the hinge line of the surface, the less will be its effect con the balance. Large, heavy, or numerous patches, es pecially those on or near the trailing edge, should therefore be avoided by making = section, replacement ‘or by partial recovering. In most cases, the addition of weight during repair will tend to make the balanced and it will be to add '& count weight. After any repair which necessitates removing. the surfaces from the airplane, check the suitic balance’ RESTRICTED AN O1-5M-3 COUNTERWEIGHT A= DISTANCE FROM HINGE LINE TO CENTER OF REPAIR.

The wing of the PBY type airplane is a semi-canti- lever beam divided into three main assemblies, « cen: ° ter section and two outer panels. The outer panels may bbe removed from the center section and the center sec tion from the hull if desired, for repair. It is attached to the Hull by two bolted wing-hull fittings at the center of the airplane and by four struts bolted at one end to the wing and at the other end to the hull. 23, The main structural units of the wing are the : front spar, the rear spar, the upper and lower skin. stringer combinations and the bulkheads, all fabricated from aluminum alloy sheet or extruded stock. 24, Virtually the entire load of the wing is carried by the inter-spar steucture, « small part of the load being carried by the leading edge stringers. The wing is di- vided into 28 stations, on each side of the center line. The center line of the wing is designated as Station 1, Each station occurs at a bulkhead point, and the bulk. head. is often designated by the station number, as “bulkhead 1,” or “bulkhead 414.” Most of the bulk. heads in the wing are of the truss type fabricated from _ Sither extruded angles or zee sections. 2.5. Damage to cither spars or plating is usually criti- cal and therefore particular attention should be paid to the repairs outlined and the instructions given in the text for these items. : 2.6. The fuel for the PBY is carried in the center sec- tion in tanks, termed “integral tanks,” which are formed: by the spars, upper and lower surfaces, center line bulk heads and one gas tight bulkhead on either side of the wing at Station 5. Repairs to this area require special treatment to insure gas tightness. Neoprene is used as gasket material on all faying surfaces and is shows om + most of the repair illustrations. For repairs outside the | gas tank area these saine repairs may be used simply by omitting the gasket material and changing the gauge of any fillers affected by deletion of the gaskets, 2.7. Location of wing access doors is shown in figure 2-2, 2.8. Tn making major repairs, the wing should be sup. ported at outlined in Parograph, 1-45. 2.9.

HOW TO USE THE FORMULAS. Refer to figure 2-5 which shows damage to the wing between Since the formula covers all damage in a 24” spanwise bay consider the damage between station 16 and 17, The damage consists of « damaged stringer and a 6” hole in the lower surface, « two inch hele and a damaged stringer in the upper surface skin, 3/16 inch notch in the upper surface spar flange, and a 5” hole in the lower surface skin. b, Check the spar flange damage with the table fon figure 2.5. From station 14-18 the allowable © di- ‘mension for the upper spar fanges is 1%".

Note If two adjacent stringers are damaged “ne stringer ‘must be repaired. Only one damaged | stringer would then be considered in. the ‘ formula. d, Further checking shows that none of the skin damage extends over two adjacent stringers, Note Skin damage extending over 2 adjacent string- ets is not negligible and must be repaired, ‘When repaired it is of course not considered in the formula, E © Checkto see that the spariwise of the damage does not exceed twice the stringer spacing in a , c RESTRICTED Section I Paragrophs 2-20 to 2-21 Note Spanwise damage exceeding the stringer spac- ing in that area must be repaired. £. The formula for figuring negligible damage be- tween stations 15 and 18 is SA + B + 4C + 8D 42. A, the total spar flange damage, is, from inspection of the illustration, 3/16. B, the total skin damage is found as follows: The chordwise extent of the hole ia the upper surface is 2” but since the stringer below this skin hole is cut the damage must be calculated as 7.250 + 8.531 of 7.89". (See paragraph 2-18.) The 2 2: hole in the lower surface skin at Station 16 also cuts cout a stringer so the same procedure is used for caleu lating the skin damage: 9.75 + 9.6875 = 8.719". The z 2 damage to the lower surface skin immediately outboard of Station 17 does not damage any stringer, therefore the extent of this damage may be taken as 5”. The total skin damage then, is found by adding these three figures: 8.719 + 7.89 + 5 or 21.609. The total number of damaged lower surface stringers is 1, therefore C = The total number of damaged upper surface stringers is also 1, therefore D = 1. Substitute these values in the formula: SA + B+ 4C + 8D saz 5X 3/16 + 21.609 44K 148 x1 S42 ea, 2.21. Tt may be assumed therefore that the damage which occurred in the 24” bay under consideration is negligible. If the left hand side of the equation had totaled more than 42 some of the damage would had to have been repaired to bring the total to less than. 42. From the result of the above calculations it appears that the quickest way to bring down the total would have been to repair some skin damage which adcoumed far most of the total OUTSTANDING. ~~“ Figure 2-6—Stringer Nomenclature a RESTRICTED.

Damage to wing plating is usually repaired by patching. ‘The presence of external patches on the wing will not materially affect the performance of the airplane and such a repair presents che simplest method of repair- ing damage. Note Patch plates may be the same gauge as the skin they patch except in gstges.032 or lighter it i recommended that the next heavier gauge be used to facilitate riveting, 1223. Since most of the load carried by the skin is in 2 spanwise direction all patches will have # multiple row rivet pattern through the chordwise edges of the patch plate and s single row of rivets along the length of the patch. ; : 2.24, In order to simplify pafching the wing skin, a template can be derigned which by varying the oumber of-rivet rows and the diameter of the rivets, can be used for any given locale. D:. Figure 2-7 shows such a template. The code on the ‘drawing indicates what rivet pattern i to be used in any given area. The single row of rivets along the sides 6 : : 2-7—Template for Determining Rivet Patterns : of the template must always run in « spanwise direction ive. parallel to the stringers. Patches in the fuel tank area should be used with « neoprene gasket to insure ‘gas tightness. Patches outside the fuel tank area need not be used with a gasket. Typical patch repairs to the wing plating are shown in figures 28 and 29. 2.26, The template may be used on large holes merely by spotting as many rivet pilot holes as the template carries and then Lining up the template with the holes just spotted and repeating the process. cau N f When using the template in the fuel tank area on large holes, the rivet pattern on the send of the template may have to be varied to insure gas tight spacing ie. « spacing of not more than %” between the end and side rivers, 2:27, DAMAGE REPAIRABLE BY INSERTION. ‘When a large section of plating is repaired by cutting away the damaged area and replacing it with a new piece of sheet using one or more of the original splices, - RESTRICTED” RESTRICTED Section It AN 01-5M-3 Figure 2.9—Typical Wing Skin Paich seman pate Terug, 0 waren See RS oh Best ARE, Figure 2-8—Wing Skin Patch-Stringer Damaged SEE ApPeNOX H roR TYPICAL STRNCER RMA RESTRICTED see a RESTRICTED AN O1-5M-3 INSERT PLATE & BUTT SPLICE PLAT!
