1. General
This topic gives information on minor and temporary repairs to composite material components. The information is of a general type only. You must refer to specific repair data, material specifications and manufacturer's instructions. Failure to do so could result in an unauthorised repair.
The composite materials used are Glassfiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP), Carbonfiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and Aramidfiber Reinforced Plastic (AFRP). These materials are used in the construction of composite structures.
When you do a repair to composite structures, the repair materials are:

When you do a repair to composite structures, the repair materials are:
- carbonfiber materials to repair carbonfiber structure.
- glassfiber materials to repair glassfiber and aromidfiber structures.
2. Description
A. Types of Structure
(1) Sandwich Structures
Composite material is used for the skin of structures which is then bonded to a metallic or nonmetallic core. The core is usually a honeycomb structure (Ref. AMM 51-77-12 08).

(2) Monolithic Structures
These structures have a composite material skin with internal stringers, ribs and spars to give rigidity and strength.

(3) Mixed Structures
To follow the aircraft design, some structures are mixed; part sandwich and part monolithic structure.
