The advances in materials technology over the last twenty years have yielded improved alternatives to the old “Grade A” and dope systems. These improvements have been the introduction of heat shrinkable polyester fabrics, new adhesives, and new coating systems. They are rapidly becoming the standard for covering and the experience of thousands of aircraft owners who have used them are a great testimony to their ease of application, durability, and finish. Recovery of any fabric covered aircraft is to be accomplished under the authority of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). As with any major repair or alteration it must be inspected and approved by a Representative of the FAA or a delegated authority and the appropriate records made. Specific inquiry should be made if one is in doubt about how to accomplish such a repair. Consult approved Air Tech Manual AT 101, Rev 4 or later approved revision, original aircraft specifications and FAA AC 43.13 – 1A. Pages from the FAA approved Procedure Manual AT 101 are inserted in this manual and are noted FAA approved. Air Tech personnel are eager to assist anyone using the Air Tech System. Basically, the covering and /or painting processes are simple; but, the achieved are dependent on following the recommendations and having good attention to detail and quality of work. This manual is designed for those having some experience in the application of fabric covering and painting. For those who do not have such experience, Air Tech can refer you to other more comprehensive Publications.Procedure No. At 101 Original Issue Date: Sept. 19, 1989STATEMENT OF WARRANTY AND LIABILITYSeller makes no express warranties of any kind with respect to acceptance and use of materials as referenced on invoice(s) and which are sold hereunder.
