REQUIREMENTS FOR AIRCRAFT AND AIRCRAFT PARTS TO BE COVERED
What are the requirements for aircraft and aircraft parts to be covered?
- The old covering has already been completely removed.
- The surfaces must be cleaned and free of any adhesive residue, tension varnish residue, etc.
- All necessary repairs must have been carried out in advance. We recommend a general overhaul of the aircraft.
- Before covering, you must obtain approval from your inspector for covering the structure, as he will no longer be able to check the structure for perfect condition after covering.
