Cone Rear-Fuselage Drains3. Description
At FR70, a drain pipe near the rear pressure bulkhead lets water and condensation drain out.
At FR80, a hole in the skin lets water and condensation drain into the drain mast.
At FR84, two drain holes in the skin let water and condensation drain out.
The airflow removes condensation and water from the drain pipe, drain mast and drain holes.
In other structures (doors, door frames, stringers, brackets and fittings) holes are drilled at the lowest points. This makes sure that water and condensation drain to the drain pipe, drain mast and drain holes.
