SUBTASK 53-52-03-390-001
(3) Seal the diverter strip [3] attach inserts.
(a) Clean insert surface with a rag moistened with solvent, B00083 and let dry.
(b) Clean the nose radome [1] surface around insert hole with a rag moistened with solvent,
B00083 and let dry.
(c) Apply sealant, A00247 on and around the insert hole in the nose radome [1] and the
mating surface of the insert. Completely coat the honeycomb core cells with sealant
(Figure 202).
(d) Install the insert immediately before the sealant has a chance to set-up.
(e) Make sure there is squeeze out of the sealant all round the insert on both surfaces of the
nose radome [1]. The sealant squeeze out on the aerodynamic surface of the nose
radome [1] needs to be flush with the surface. This is to accommodate the fit-up of the
diverter strip [3].
(f) Apply a 0.12 inch fillet seal of sealant, A00247 around the flange of the diverter strip [3]
insert that is exposed to the interior side of the nose radome [1].
NOTE: It is important to make sure that the diverter strip [3] attach inserts are completely
sealed to prevent moisture from entering into the nose radome [1] honeycomb
core.
