3. NONSTRUCTURAL SKIN REPAIR. The skin cov-
ering the M20V aircraft tubular fuselage structure is
considered nonstructural. Patches in nonstructural
skin are not restricted as to size or shape; however, ap-
pearance and possible vibration damage should be
considered. Either a flush patch, a plate patch, or a plug
patch may be used.
51-12-03 - LANDING GEAR & RETRACTION SYS-
TEM REPAIR
Replace any damaged landing gear or retraction sys-
tem component with a new part. Repairing landing gear
or retraction system components is not recommended.
After installing new components, check gear and re-
traction system rigging as outlined in Section
32- 20- 02. Before returning aircraft to service, perform
a retraction test and operational check of landing gear
and retraction system per Section 32- 30- 01.
51-12-04 - FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM REPAIR
Replace any damaged primary control system compo-
nent with a new part. Repairing primary control system
components is not recommended. Use only new hard-
ware when installing new parts. After installation of new
parts, check control system travel and rigging as out-
lined in Chapter 27. Before returning aircraft to service,
flight test aircraft for proper control system rigging.
51-13-00 - WING REPAIR
51-13-01 - STRINGER REPAIR
Stringer splicing may require drilling new holes and
adding rivets between existing rivets to obtain required
total number of rivets. Add extra rivets where distance
between existing rivets is greatest. The pitch and edge
distance must conform to AC 43.13- ( ) requirements
(Figure 51- 10).
51-13-02 - MAIN SPAR REPAIR
The spar caps inboard of STA 103 are made of
7075- T6 high- strength aluminum. Replacement of
spar cap is preferable to repair. However, if a spar cap
repair is thought necessary, an exact description of
damage (digital photographs recommended), showing
location and extent should be sent to Product Support
Department, Mooney International Corporation - Kerr-
ville, Texas, 78028, (email to: support@mooney.com)
to obtain factory recommendations prior to beginning
the repair.
