AIR INTAKE COWL ACOUSTIC LINER FACING SHEET HOLE REPAIR
VRS2780

1. General.

A. This procedure may be used to repair holes in the acoustic liner

facing sheet. The holes must be less than 2.00 in. (50,80 mm) in
diameter. Refer to paragraph 5. for damage limitations.

B. This type of damage can be repaired by carefully removing the

wiremesh and carbon ply (without damage to the septum layer). The
void is then filled with epoxy paste adhesive.

C. This repair causes blockage in the acoustically treated areas. For

approved limits, refer to SRM 54-01-00, Acoustic Treatment
Blockage Area Limits.

D. Damage which is not in the limits of this repair must be referred

to UTAS.

B. The center of damage must be a minimum of 5 times the largest

damage diameter apart from the adjacent damage center. Damage
separation must be measured from damage center to damage center.
(Figure 201 Sheet 1).

C. The edge distance of the damage must be a minimum of 0.75 times the
damage diameter from the no damage area. (Fig 201 Sheet 2 and 3)

D. On the 3-piece acoustic liner, the minimum edge distance is in

addition to the 1.5 in. (38,10 mm) no damage area (Figure 201
(Sheet 2)). On the 2-piece acoustic liner, the minimum edge
distance is in addition to the 2.0 in. (50,80 mm) no damage area
