placed across outboard machined surface on each grip.
NOTE
Failure to support blades properly at preconed angle (2

5. Inspect for nicks, scratches, and dents.
a. Nicks and scratches anywhere on
surface of skins or trailing edge strip not in
excess of 0.008 in. (0.2032 mm) in depth are
acceptable if polished out.
NOTE
If a nick or scratch in skin in excess
of 0.008 in. (0.203 mm) deep can be
polished smooth without leaving skin
in polished area so thin it can be
dented with fingernail pressure, then
a patch may be applied over area
without cutting a hole. (Refer to
paragraph 62-8 and figure 62-4 for
main rotor blade patching
procedures and patching limitation.)
Nicks and scratches in skin trailing
b. Any dent in skin, in outboard 4 ft.
(1.213 m) of blade which does not tear skin,
or produce a void detectable when tapping, or
effect flight characteristics is acceptable.
c. Dents in skin inboard of a station 4 ft.
(1.219 m) from tip of blade not in excess of
0.06 in. (1.524 mm) deep are acceptable.
Dents in excess of this value shall be
polished, smoothed, and patched, if within
allowable limitations for patching.
d. Nicks in extreme trailing edge (10 and
16, figure 62-4) not in excess of 0.060 in.
(1.524 mm) deep shall be polished out over a
distance of at least 2.0 in. (50.8 mm) each
side of nick.
e. Dents in skins of trailing edge
extension are permissible provided dent is not
visible on opposite side of blade.
f. if a nick or scrath exists in a sharp
dent in skin, total depth of both shall not
exceed 0.06 in. (1.524 mm). If a nick or
scratch cannot be polished out, it shall be cut
out and patched if within allowable limits for
6. Voids in spar assembly, outboard of
station 100.
NOTE
A void is defined as an unbonded
area which is normally bonded.
Many subdefinitions of voids are
given such as lack of adhesive, gas
pocket, misfit, etc. This manual
makes no distinction, but groups all
such defects in the one general term
'void'.
a. A 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) wide (maximum)
void between abrasive strip and nose block at
extreme leading edge is acceptable to within
1.0 in. (25.4 mm) of tip of blade. If void runs
through splice joint between center and
outboard abrasive strips, it shall be
completely sealed.
b. Other voids not exceeding 30 sq.in.
(193.55 cm sq.) with a maximum to 10 sq.in.
(64.5 cm sq.) in any single void are
acceptable. If voids come closer than 1.0 in.
(25.4 mm) to each other, consider as a single
void.
c. Voids within 0.38 in. (9.652 mm) of
edge of abrasive strip are not acceptable.
However, edge voids 0.08 in. (2.032 mm
maximum deep by any length or 0.25 in. (6.35
mm) maximum deep by 3.0 in. (76.2 mm)
maximum length may be sealed with
adhesive.
d. Voids between reinforcement doubler
and spar not larger than 1.0 by 3.0 in. (25.4
by 76.2 mm) are acceptable. Minimum
spacing between centers is 5.0 in. (127 mm).
Maximum total area of voids to be 30 sq.in.
(193.56 sq. cm).
NOTE
Any acceptable void described in
this step which is apparent at tip end
is to be sealed with adhesive.
7. Voids in spar assembly, inboard of station
100.
a. A 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) wide (maximum)
void between abrasive strip and nose block is
acceptable.
8. Voids at butt end of blade.
a. Voids not deeper than 3.0 in. (76.2 mm)
between nose block and box beam are
acceptable.
b. Voids between trailing edge extrusion
and skin not deeper than 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) or
wider than 1.0 in. (25.4 mm), are acceptable.
c. Any other void not longer than 1.0 in.
(25.4 mm) or deeper than 0.35 in. (8.89 mm)
is acceptable.
b. Voids between abrasive strip and
reinforcement doubler not exceeding 10.0
sq.in. (6452 sq. mm) with a maximum of 2.0
sq.in. (1290.4 sq mm) in any single void are
acceptable. Minimum spacing between void
centers shall exceed 3.0 in. (76.2 mm).
c. Voids within 0.38 in.(9.652 mm) of edge
of abrasive strip, except at butt end as per
above, are not acceptable.
d. Voids between reinforcement doubler
and spar, not larger than 0.5 by 1 in. (12.7 by
25.4 mm), are acceptable. If voids come
closer than 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) to each other,
consider as a single void. Maximum total
area of voids not to exceed 10.0 sq.in. (6452
sq. mm).
NOTE
Any acceptable void described in
his step which is apparent at butt
end is to be sealed with adhesive.
d. Voids are not acceptable within 0.5 in.
(12.7 mm) of front or rear edge of either grip
plate, (viewing the section of butt end).
NOTE
Any acceptable voids described in
this step which are apparent at butt
end are to be sealed with adhesive.
9. Voids in retention area, inboard of station
100.
a. Inspect main rotor blade grip pads for
edge voids, corrosion, and condition of
adhesive squeeze-out. Hair line cracks in
paint finish should be suspect for possible
voids. Single edge voids on any one side
which are 0.060 in. (1.524 mm) in depth and
2.0 in. (50.8 mm) in length are acceptable but
shall be sealed. Edge voids in excess of
these limits are not reparable and is cause for
blade replacement. Seal acceptable edge
voids with adhesive.
b. Voids between doublers or innermost
doubler and skin 2.0 in. (50.8 mm) wide,
long maximum, (spanwise) are allowable,
providing they are not closer than 1.0 in.
(25.4 mm) to edge of doubler or to another
void. Total allowable area of voids between
all doublers shall not exceed 10.0 sq.in. (6452
sq. mm).
b. Voids between doublers or innermost
doubler and skin 2.0 in. (50.8 mm) wide,
long maximum, (spanwise) are allowable,
providing they are not closer than 1.0 in.
(25.4 mm) to edge of doubler or to another
void. Total allowable area of voids between
all doublers shall not exceed 10.0 sq.in. (6452
sq. mm).
