Repair of Hydraulic Leaks with Fly-Away Kit Components
1. Reason for the Job
The fly-away kit is used to repair hydraulic tubes at an outstation to let the aircraft go back to its main base. It can also be used in the main base and at an outstation to do temporary or permanent repair. This is to prevent or decrease the period for which the aircraft is unserviceable when an external hydraulic leak is higher than the maximum permitted leak rate.

4. ProcedureNOTE: This list gives the recommended Airbus components/quantities. It includes many types of parts which let operators do repairs in many areas of the hydraulic system.
Minimum quantities are supplied to keep a low weight. The operator must erase items from or add items to the list in relation with its requirements and experience. But the components must be in the Airbus Illustrated Part Catalog (IPC) or approved by the applicable Airworthiness Authorities.
The operator must select the components and repair methods and make sure that these obey the applicable directives of the Airworthiness Authorities.
