PARTS REMOVED FROM AIRCRAFT DURING
MAINTENANCE.
8-10.1. SHORT TERM STORAGE (30 DAYS OR
LESS). Short term storage shall be defined as any
period up to 30 days for the purposes of this manual.
When assemblies or parts are removed from the aircraft
for repair, or to gain access to areas of the aircraft for
maintenance, they shall be treated to prevent corrosion
prior to placement into short term storage. All items shall
be stored indoors in a covered area to protect them from
the elements. Navy shall refer to NAVAIR 15-01-500 or
to the applicable maintenance or equipment storage
manuals for specific details on storage of a particular
part or assembly. In the absence of other requirements,
the following procedures apply:
a. Clean part or assembly in accordance with
Chapter 2.
b. Assemblies or parts having bare metal surfaces,
such as internal and working surfaces on landing gear
components, shall be properly lubricated with the aircraft
greases or oils normally applied in service.
c. High strength steel components which are stripped
of their protective coatings shall be protected using one
of the following methods:
Compound, Corrosion Preventative
4
Water-Displacing
MIL-PRF-81309
(1)
Apply a film of CPC (MIL-PRF-81309 Type
II) to all bare surfaces whenever there is a lapse of two
hours or more in the repair cycle. The part shall then be
loosely overwrapped with barrier material
(MIL-PRF-131 Class 1).
(2)
Wrap part in VCI film, MIL-PRF-22019 or
VCI paper, MIL-PRF-3420, and seal with tape, SAE
AMS-T-22085.
d. Completely painted parts need no other special
protective measures, except in marine or high humidity
environments. In these cases, the part shall be loosely
overwrapped with barrier material (MIL-PRF-131
Class 1).
Solvent, Degreasing
13
MIL-PRF-680
Cleaner, Non-Aqueous,
15
Low VOC, HAP Free,
MIL-PRF-32295
e. Prior to rework or reapplication of protective
coatings, remove CPC with degreasing solvent (MIL-
PRF-680 Type II or III) or non-aqueous cleaner
(MIL-PRF-32295 Type I) as required. Reapply the
appropriate aircraft lubricant to areas requiring
lubrication. CPCs shall not be used for lubrication in lieu
of the lubricant specified for use on a particular part or
assembly.
8-10.2. LONG TERM STORAGE (OVER 30 DAYS). If
the storage of assemblies or parts will exceed 30 days,
increased protective measures are required, particularly
on critical parts and high strength steel components. All
items shall be stored indoors in a covered area to
protect them from the elements. Refer to the following
manuals, or to the applicable maintenance or equipment
storage manuals, for specific details on storage of a
particular part or assembly: NAVAIR 15-01-500 (Navy)
or TM 743-200-1 (Army). In the absence of other
requirements, the following procedures apply:
a. Clean part or assembly in accordance with
Chapter 2.
