C. Identification of the Damaged Area
(1) Make sure that the repair procedure is only applicable to the outer edges and not to the cut-out edges.
(2) Make sure that the prepreg layer on the rear side of the lining panel is not damaged.
(3) Measure the dimensions of the damage in these directions:
(5) Make sure that the maximum width of the damage to the edge is equal to or less than 25 mm (0.9843 in.).
(6) Make sure that the minimum distance between the new damage to the edge and other damage or other repair(s) in the same panel is 300 mm (11.8110 in.).
(a) If the distance measured is less than 300 mm (11.8110 in.), you must think of the two damaged areas as one damage.
