NOTE: Refer to Chapter 51-77-11 Code 911 NUM 007 , Paragraph 2.F for preparation.
When used for bonding the primer can be cured separately or cured with the adhesive film.
Parts protected with bonding primer can be stored, subject to satisfactory packaging, providing that they are protected
from any contamination. The time in storage shall be as specified by the adhesive bonding primer supplier.

H. Dry Fabric
(1) Glass fabric

Dry glass fabrics are used for repair of glass and aramid components.
Dry glass fabrics are classified in two types according to their application (Refer to the Table below).
For repair of repairable damages Type 1 fabrics in combination with Type 1 laminating resins (Refer to
Paragraph
2.B.
) shall be used. It is permissible to use Type 2 fabric in conjunction with Type 1 or Type 2 resin, when specified
in the relevant Chapter.
For repair of allowable damages both Type 1 and Type 2 fabrics can be used if the fabric weight, style and
orientation of the original plies are respected.
For aramid structure, unless otherwise indicated in a specific chapter, each aramid ply can be replaced with one
glass ply with respect to the orientation and style as follows:

J. Pre-cured Doublers and Sections
(1) General
Composite repair doublers are usually cut from pre-cured sheet materials or profiles and are normally covered with a
protective peel ply (Refer to Chapter 51-77-11 Code 911 NUM 002 , Paragraph 2.B, Auxiliary materials).
Except otherwise indicated, the thickness of the pre-cured doubler must be equal to, or can be thicker by up to 10%,
compared to the skin being repaired.
Except otherwise indicated, the doubler material must be the same as the structure being repaired, that means:
• CFRP doublers to repair CFRP structures.
• GFRP doublers to repair GFRP or AFRP structures.
(2) Doubler list
• Standard flat doublers are listed in Table 015 ,
• Specific doublers and sections are referenced in Chapter 55-11-00 and Chapter 55-31-00 .
All these doublers can be purchased from AIRSPARES (Material Support Centre) with a standard size of 1000 x 800
mm (39,4 x 31,5 in). Larger sizes are available on request.

(a) Prepare a flat score and abrasion free metal plate 10 mm (0.39 in) thick. Make sure that the plate is big enough
for the vacuum bag installation, greater than 150 mm (5.91 in) around the doubler and the test panel, refer to
Figure
001 Vacuum Bag Installation for Manufacture of Flat Doubler -Autoclave Process
.
(b) Apply a non perforated film on the metal plate, extending 15 mm (0.59 in) beyond the edge of the prepreg
laminate.
(c) Apply a layer of peel ply 25 mm (0.98 in) beyond the edge of the prepreg laminate.
NOTE: For laminate preparation (cutting and laying up), refer to Chapter 51-77-11 Code 911 NUM 008 .
(d) Apply the prepreg plies, debulking every 3 plies, refer to Chapter 51-77-11 Code 911 NUM 008 for lay up.
(e) Place a layer of peel ply extending 25 mm (0.98 in) beyond the edge of the prepreg laminate.
(f) Apply vacuum bag sealant tape to the periphery of the repair area, preferably 150 mm (5.91 in) beyond the
prepreg laminate.
(g) Place thermocouples spaced evenly around the edge of the prepreg laminate area. Place the thermocouples up to
3 mm (0.12 in) from the edge of the prepreg laminate. A minimum of three thermocouples shall be used,
suitably positioned around the prepreg laminate.
NOTE: The highest temperature recorded is to be used to control the heating process, to avoid temperature
overshoot.
NOTE: The lowest temperature indicated is to be used to determine the cure time.
(h) Place a layer of non perforated parting film over the peel ply, extending 12 mm (0.47 in) beyond the edge of the
prepreg laminate. Smooth to avoid wrinkles.
(i) Position a caul plate so that the edges are flush with the edge of the prepreg laminate.
(j) Place a breather line (two ropes) extending 100 mm (3.94 in) beyond the prepreg laminate.
(k) Install a breather cloth so that it covers the breather line.
(l) Install a minimum of two vacuum probes through openings cut in the vacuum bag.
NOTE: One will be used for the vacuum gage, the other will be connected to the vacuum source.
Place a vacuum monitor line connector (or vacuum gage connector) on the opposite side of the bag to the
vacuum bag. Do not place probes on or near the laminate. Place a probe on a pad of breather material and place
this on the edge of the breather material.
(m) Cover with vacuum bag film and smooth to minimize wrinkles. Press the vacuum bag film firmly onto the
vacuum bag sealant tape to get an airtight seal. Place tucks in the vacuum bag film where necessary, to allow
for gap material stretching and abrupt transitional or contour changes.
(n) Connect vacuum source to the vacuum bag and working from the center. Smooth the vacuum bag by hand
pressure as the air is removed.
Evacuate the space under the vacuum bag. Check for leaks and re-seal if necessary. Maximum vacuum pressure
drop (leak rate) is to be less than 0.2 bar (2.9 psi) in 5 minutes.
A minimum vacuum of 0.75 bar (10.9 psi) or 560 mm Hg (22 inch Hg) is required, unless specified otherwise by
the repair document.
(o) Cure the laminate in an autoclave.

NOTE: For curing parameters refer to the relevant material Tables 011 thru 014 .
NOTE: Refer to Figure 002 Curing Cycle Profile for Manufacture of Flat Doubler Autoclave Process for curing

the nearest 0.01 mm (0.00039 in).
• Install specimen in three point bending in a jig having a support span. Make sure that the
specimen is located symmetrically on the support rollers.
• Load the specimen at crosshead speed of 1mm/min (0.05 in/min) until failure. Specimens have
to be tested at 20 °C (68 °F) ± 3 °C (5.4 °F).
• Interlaminar Shear Strenght 'ILSS' is calculated from the formula: ILSS = 0.75 P / WxT (in
Megapascale)
P - load at failure
W - measured width of specimen
T - measured thickness of specimen

K. Honeycomb Core - Refer to Table 018 , Table 019 , Table 020 and Table 021 .
Honeycomb core material is designated by its material family, cell shape and size and by its density. In the case of metal
honeycomb core, the wall thickness and anti corrosion treatment are also given.

Three types of cell shapes are used:
• Hexagonal cells
These are dedicated to relatively flat surfaces.
• Over expanded cells

These are dedicated to single curved surfaces. The expansion in a transverse direction facilitates curving
or forming in a ribbon direction.
• Flexible cells
These are dedicated to double curved surfaces. The configuration of the cells provides exceptional
formability with reduced anticlastic curvature and without buckling. These materials are only called up for
radome repairs.
Substitute core is acceptable with respect to the following considerations:
• Stress
The substitute core must meet higher properties in compression than the original core. The density must
be equal or higher.
• Material
Two types of aramid paper for honeycomb core are used. Meta - aramid paper (NOMEX) and para - aramid
paper (N636). Para - aramid (N636) core can be replaced by meta - aramid core as shown in Table 018
but meta - aramid (NOMEX) phenolic core can not be replaced by para - aramid (N636) core.
Glass phenolic core can only be replaced by glass phenolic core. Metal core can only be replaced by metal
core with respect to original anti corrosion treatment.
• Cell shape
Must be respected.
NOTE: For meta - aramid phenolic core, substitute cores are allowed as shown in Table 020 and Table 021 . For para -
aramid (N636) core, substitute cores are allowed as shown in Table 018 .
