General

Contour (shape), rigidity, and strength for the semimonocoque fuselage are derived, for the most part, from its internal structural members. From time to time these members need repairs. This section describes some typical repairs for internal structural members. However, the appropriate technical manual for the particular aircraft must be consulted. What may be a simple repair on one aircraft can require special techniques and tools on another. The paragraphs that follow discuss repairs for stringers and longerons, spars and ribs, formers and bulkheads, and leading and trailing edges.
