THE NATURE OF THE MAIN STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IN BOEING 737-400 AS IDENTIFIED DURING OVERHAUL TYPE C

Abstract

In its preliminary part, the article characterises Boeings 737-400 as due to undergo further tests as well as the basic materials used in their construction. It also defines to what extend these materials are prone to damage in the course of their regular use over the planes’ working lives. The object of the analysis is the most prevalent structural damage to the fuselage of the planes discovered during overhaul type C and the definition of the best preventive service. Further on the article categorises the discovered problems and provides their genesis. The main part of the article is devoted to the definition of the sources and reasons for the damage. Consequently, the article forms guidelines how to prevent the occurrence of such and similar damage to the fuselage.
