MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
In this section are shown the external placards and their locations on the airplane.
Placard Removal
Tools
Procedure
Detach the placard from the airplane using a hot air blower to soften the adhesive, taking care
not to damage any adjacent component or paintwork.
Then clean the surface with the solvent and a lint-free cloth.
Placard Installation
Tools
Procedure
Clean the surface with a cloth, made moist with the solvent and wipe carefully with a clean
lint-free cloth.
Remove the bottom protective covering from the adhesive side of the placard and position the
placard pressing to the surface.
If an upper clear protective covering is available, press the characters to the surface through
the upper covering: you can use a felt pad for pressing the characters. Then remove the clear
upper protective covering paying attention the characters are fully stuck to the surface.
