GWO Blade Repair Training Standard V2.0
2021-04-01_TS_BR_V2
Explain the limitations with the temperature settings on the heating blankets
Demonstrate how to use the reading from the temperature gauge to adjust the heating blanket to the correct curing temperature Explain how to record and document the vacuum level and curing temperature at regular intervals during the curing process Explain the health and safety implications of removing the vacuum bagging materials after curing the repair by considering sharp edges and the possibility of uncured material. Demonstrate how to mitigate those risks using PPE Explain how the peel ply should not be removed until immediately before the application of the next repair layer Explain how the peel ply makes the surface of the laminate rough for the application of the next layer and it also protects the surface of the laminate from external contamination Explain that the blade manufacturer’s work instructions will detail the exact surface finish for the application of repair layers Ask the participants relevant questions about the functions of the tools, instruments and vacuum consumables used during the curing process
Facilitate practice to improve the participants’ ability to:
a. mitigate the risks posed during the curing process and subsequent removal of vacuum bagging materials b. apply vacuum consumables in the correct order with the correct placement of a thermocouple, and to achieve, record and document the correct vacuum levels in accordance with a work instruction c. adjust a heating blanket to the correct temperature according to the temperature displayed on a temperature gauge. Record and document that temperature in accordance with a work instruction
The participants shall:
Explain in their own words and share their understanding of the functions of the tools, instruments and vacuum consumables used during the curing process Practice the ability to mitigate the risks posed during the curing process and subsequent removal of vacuum bagging materials Practice the ability to apply vacuum consumables in the correct order with the correct placement of a thermocouple, and to achieve, record and document the correct vacuum levels in accordance with a work instruction Practice the ability to adjust a heating blanket to the correct temperature according to the temperature displayed on a temperature gauge. Record and document that temperature in accordance with a work instruction
Training staff shall:
Give constructive feedback on participants’ above explanations and practice
