Blade Repair Standard / V4 2023-05-02

Explain the challenges that can arise from creating a vacuum in a repair setting by considering the surface finish of the blade, the porosity of the laminate, the core material in the blade and the distance from the repair to the vacuum pump. Discuss ways in which to mitigate against these challenges

Demonstrate:

a. how to apply vacuum consumables to a repair to achieve the specified vacuum levels as stated in a work instruction b. the application of flash tape and tacky tape prior to applying resin to ensure that the flash tape and tacky tape will adhere to the surface. Demonstrate how to prevent contamination of the tape by using masking tape

c. how to record and document the vacuum level using a vacuum gauge

Facilitate practice to improve the participants abilities to:

a. apply vacuum consumables to the repair in the correct order and achieve the correct vacuum levels in accordance with a work instruction

b. read a vacuum gauge to verify and to be able to document the vacuum level applied to the repair

Give constructive feedback on the participants’ above practice

The participants shall:

Practise the ability to:

a. apply vacuum consumables to the repair in the correct order and achieve the correct vacuum levels in accordance with a work instruction

b. read a vacuum gauge to verify and to be able to document the vacuum level applied to the repair

ELEMENT 26.10 - CURING THE REPAIR USING HEATING BLANKETS
