Observation au sujet de l’enduit de tension à usage restreint
Dans un de mes articles je vous ai parlé de la position FAA sur l’usage de l’enduit de tension normalement utilisé pour des tissus n’apportant pas leur propre tension (‘Coton en Lin)
Ma référence était TSO Cd et l’AC 43.13-1B de 1998 de la FAA
Ces documents n’ont jamais été traduits en français.
Cependant, un autre document l’AC EA 43.13-1A a été annulé par la FAA en 1998.mais est toujours en vente au Canada et en France

Ce manuel
(l’AC EA 43.13-1A) avait «’oublié » que l’enduit de tension n’est pas à sa place sur le polyester.
Or, comme c’est un manuel en français, certains continuent à l’exploiter, dont certains spécialistes de l’administration nationale.

identified in this AC may only be used as a basis for FAA approval for major repairs. The repair data may
also be used as approved data, and the AC chapter, page, and paragraph listed in block 8 of FAA form 337
