MAINTENANCE PRACTICES OPERATION, MAINTENANCE MANUAL, AND LOGBOOK 300 B. Composite Blade Inspection Requirements CAUTION: MAINTAINING A GOOD LOGBOOK RECORD IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR COMPOSITE PROPELLER BLADES. DAMAGE AND/OR REPAIRS MAY SUFFER FURTHER DEGRADATION AFTER CONTINUED USE. SUCH DEGRADATION MAY BE EASILY OVERLOOKED. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR INSPECTORS TO HAVE ACCESS TO ACCURATE HISTORICAL DATA WHEN PERFORMING SUBSEQUENT INSPECTIONS. (1) Required Record-Keeping (a) Composite blade damage and a description of its repair must be recorded in the composite blade logbook. (2) Maintenance Inspections (a) Inspection procedures must be performed in accordance with this manual. and previously repaired areas for growth. If the damaged areas have grown larger, estimate if they will be greater than the damage limits before the next overhaul. 2 If this is the case, make arrangements to repair the damage at the earliest practical time to prevent further damage to the blade. (c) Defects or damage discovered during scheduled inspections must be evaluated in accordance with allowables outlined later in this section, to determine if repairs are required before further operation. Although repair of “Operable damage” is not essential before further operation, such damage should always be repaired as soon as possible, to avoid further degradation. 2 In most cases, “Inoperable damage” must be repaired before further operation. (3) Record the details of all damage and/or repairs in the propeller logbook. |
