structures. The methods shall only be used when specified in an
approved repair procedure or with the agreement of the Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or regulatory authority. The repair
materials shall be defined in the approved repairs referencing
these methods.
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide a set of standard
methods that may be referenced in repair documents produced by
airlines or airframe and engine manufacturers. It is intended that
this document be one of a number of ARPs that will cover other
