2. Procedure
Subtask 57-29-07-271-001-A
A. Preparation for Inspection
(1) Any paint layer on the scan surfaces need not be removed provided it is in good condition with no
bubbles or flakes. If there is any doubt about the condition of a paint layer in the scan areas, the paint
layer (excluding primer) must be removed using an approved method. (See SRM 51-75-11PB001)
(2) Make sure that all decals or other adhered substances are removed from the inspection area.
(3) Make sure that the inspection area is free from any visible damage or discontinuities.
(4) Use an approved marker to mark the centre line of Wing Ribs and Rear Spar.
(5) Identify the interface of Wing Ribs and Rear Spar to allow Rib Bay identification.
(6) Inspection Area A. (See FIGURE 57-29-07-991-004-A)
(a) Identify the Rib Bay to be inspected.
(b) Locate the first row of fasteners forward of the Rear Spar interface and identify the first and last
fastener in the row.
(c) Measure 20 mm (0.787 in) from the forward edge of the first fastener head of the fastener row
and mark the position with an approved marker.
(d) Measure 20 mm (0.787 in) from the forward edge of the last fastener head of the fastener row
and mark the position with an approved marker.
(e) Using a straight edge and an approved marker, draw a line between the marked positions Rib to
Rib.
(f) Measure 40 mm (1.575 in) scan pitch intervals aft from the marked line in LIST STRUCTURE
towards trailing edge of the skin. Using an approved marker mark the remaining scan paths.
Make sure that the final scan path overlaps the trailing skin edge.
(g) Repeat steps LIST STRUCTURE thru or LIST STRUCTURE for each Rib Bay to be inspected
within Area A.
(7) Inspection Area B. (See FIGURE 57-29-07-991-005-A)
(a) Identify the False Rear Spar.
(b) Locate the first row of fasteners forward of the False Rear Spar and identify the first and last
fastener in the row.
(c) Measure 20 mm (0.787 in) from the forward edge of the first fastener head of the fastener row
and mark the position with an approved marker.
(d) Measure 20 mm (0.787 in) from the forward edge of the last fastener head of the fastener row
and mark the position with an approved marker.
(e) Using a straight edge and an approved marker, draw a line between the marked positions.
(f) Measure 40 mm (1.575 in) scan pitch intervals aft from the marked line in LIST STRUCTURE to
the trailing edge of the skin. Using an approved marker mark the remaining scan paths. Make
sure that the final scan path overlaps the trailing skin edge.
(g) Repeat steps LIST STRUCTURE thru or LIST STRUCTURE for the complete False Rear Spar
interface.
(8) Identify Inspection Area C. (See FIGURE 57-29-07-991-006-A)
(a) Identify the Rib Bay to be inspected.

(d) Measure 20 mm (0.787 in) from the forward edge of the last fastener head of the fastener row
and mark the position with an approved marker.
(e) Using a straight edge and an approved marker, draw a line between the marked positions.
(f) Measure 40 mm (1.575 in) scan pitch intervals aft from the marked line in LIST STRUCTURE
until the last scan path is at least 20 mm (0.787 in) aft from the aft row of fasteners on the Rear

in SRM 57-21-11PB001, must be classified as corrosion and recorded then reported to AIRBUS stating:
(See FIGURE 57-29-07-991-012-A)
- The location of the corrosion within the Rib Bay or False Rear Spar
- The depth range of the corrosion
- The size of the corrosion area
- The scan must be saved as a DATA file for later referral. (See TABLE 23)
