Leading Edge Repair

Usually several structural parts are involved in leading edge damages. Flying object damage generally involves the nose skin, nose ribs, stringers, and possibly the cap strip. Damage involving all of these members will require installing an access door to make the repair possible. First, the damaged area must be removed and repair procedures established. Such a repair will need insertions and splice pieces, and it may require repairing the cap strip and stringer and making a new nose rib and a skin panel. When repairing a leading edge, use only the procedures prescribed in the applicable manual.
