(1) FOR 3SD1 (ANTENNA-DME, 1)
You can find DME 1 antenna at zone 120.
(2) FOR 3SD2 (ANTENNA-DME, 2)
You can find DME 2 antenna at zone 130.
(3) Make sure that the inspection area is sufficiently clean to do a satisfactory inspection of the area.
(4) If the inspection area is not sufficiently clean, clean the inspection area with the Non Aqueous Clea
ner-General - - (Material Ref. 08BAA9) and a Textile-Lint free Cotton - (Material Ref. 14SBA1).

4. Procedure

SUBTASK 34-51-11-210-050-A
A. Types of Damage
(1) There are two types of damage:
- Critical damage
- Erosion (deep erosion or light erosion).

(a) Critical damage:

Ref. Fig. Critical Damage
Damage becomes critical when it has an unwanted effect on the structural integrity of the a
ntenna. This type of damage can be mechanical (debris or pebbles that hit the antenna) or c
hemical (caused by corrosion). You can find this type of damage when you do a visual inspe
ction.

1 The signs of mechanical damage are as follows:

- Deterioration of the painted surfaces (finish and/or primer layers) with clear
edges
- Dent, deformation or crack.
If you find these signs of damage that are new (were not there at the last inspection
or you do not have information about them), the pebble(s) or debris is (are) the caus
e of damage. Record this damage as critical damage.

2 The signs of chemical (corrosion) damage are as follows:

- Brown or black stains in areas where the paint or the protection layers are w
orn and where you can see the bare metal structure of the antenna.

TAIL NUMBER - MSN - FSN: 5A-BRB - 04484 - 002

Print date: 2024-07-03 10:39:26

If you find these signs of corrosion during a visual inspection, record this damage as
critical damage.

NOTE: Corrosion damage increases gradually in a period of time but this will not
show suddenly. You cannot find this type of damage on a new antenna or
an antenna that had no signs of damage of the paint or the protection lay
ers during the last inspection.

(b) Erosion is a type of wear which gradually removes the antenna paint layers.
The erosion can be:

1 Mechanical:
Air, dust and small particles can have an abrasive effect on the antenna and cause
wear of the antenna paint layers. If you do not repair this type of damage, it can cau
se wear to the structure.

2 Chemical:
Chemical reactions can cause damage to the paint. If you do not repair this type of d
amage, it can cause corrosion.

3 Erosion can be deep or light:

a Deep erosion:
Ref. Fig. Deep Erosion
If there is deep erosion, you can see the bare metal or plastic structure of the
antenna, which can cause corrosion or erosion on the structure. If this occur
s, the damage becomes critical.

b Light erosion:
Ref. Fig. Light Erosion
In this type of erosion, you can see the primer of the antenna but you cannot
see the bare structure.
