Blade Repair Standard / V5 02052025
253) Participants can act independently in using appropriate tools to apply the matrix material to the repair and consolidate and remove air from the laminate while maintaining the correct overlaps and keeping the fibres straight in each layer of the repair (Ability, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
Demonstrate how to, and facilitate practice for the participants to, use a brush to apply the matrix material to the repair and how to use a bolt roller to consolidate and remove air from the laminate while maintaining the correct overlaps and/or scarf dimensions and keeping the fibres straight in each layer
Give constructive feedback on the participants’ practice mentioned above
The participants shall:
Practise the ability to use appropriate tools to apply the matrix material to the repair and to consolidate and remove air from the laminate while maintaining the correct overlaps and keeping the fibres straight in each layer of the repair
ELEMENT 26.9 - VACUUM CONSOLIDATION
Learning objectives:
254) Participants can recognise the challenges that can arise from creating a vacuum in a repair setting and ways to mitigate against these challenges (Knowledge, basic level)
255) Participants can act independently in documenting and applying vacuum consumables to the repair in the correct order, and achieve the correct vacuum levels in accordance with a work instruction (Ability, intermediate level)
256) Participants can act independently in reading a vacuum gauge to verify and to be able to document the vacuum level applied to the repair (Ability, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
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
