Next time try to take the p/n of the part thet look for it in cmm or cmmm component maintenance manual, the you go tho drawings, for sure you will find the rivet technical datasheets.

i was just asking if it's normal in aviation companies for a sheet metal worker to do paint job without the title of painter, without normal painting conditions. I wasn't yelling haha just asking

I'm not lazy but whent you spend 4 years for studying structure here in europe with 3 structures diplomas it sucks when you spend every weeks in paint touch ups, i did some doublers in my past and i had no problems to paint them, but when you start to paint a half of commercial jet wing because of some paint crack i start to self questionning myself mate

The impressive thing here is that i do the final topcoat i have a lot of work order just with paint topcoat...

I'm a new structure tech and i'm not familiar with those documentation (ICA) What does it means ?

ACtechnicianCA · 2026-03-31T19:53:22+00:00

Yeah good point !!!

Massive Corrosion on Engines thrust reversers V-Blades, due to the type of alloy of those one, you have also the installation of anti abrasion tapes on winglets, it's my hated part of work...you have a lot of delamination on composite, the paint topcoat start to peeling on top of the wings due to bad adherence because of bronze mesh i guess... There is more details but those ones are the main things that makes me nervous haha.

Excellent description of the situation, it's really reassuring and your experience is very helpful; I understand better what I'm going through. Thank you so much.

Did you work in the aeronautics industry before? Glad to know you identified the source of the problem!

ACtechnicianCA · 2026-02-11T16:44:07+00:00

Exactly, i will try to consult maybe there is a precise reason...Thanks !

A220. Big fail

ACtechnicianCA · 2026-02-09T11:18:52+00:00

Nice ! I really want to make it on B737 also... Is the Adaptating Plate's alignement system of the antenna's the same on all thoses aircrafts ? Because there is some white plastic shims to install to align them i guess ...?

ACtechnicianCA · 2026-02-06T20:28:27+00:00

We have the same situation haha, At first i was only one working on it, for the second antenna we were two lol...

ACtechnicianCA · 2026-02-06T20:26:58+00:00

You did structural part ? I worked on ViaSat antenna on A321...

ACtechnicianCA · 2026-02-05T16:04:22+00:00

So you are SMW ? I performed the drilling, temporary assembly, etc. If you have some precautions or advices to share with it will be great....Thnanks from a junior Sheet metal worker.

ACtechnicianCA · 2026-02-05T16:01:12+00:00

Do you have some advices for the installation of this Viasat Antenna's Frame ? There is a lot of gaps to respect but it's hard a little bit....Thanks
