GENERAL.
DESCRIPTION
The PA - 2 8 RT-201/201T is an all metal semi-monocoque structure. The fuselage is constructed of
bulkheads, stringers and stiffeners, to which all of the outer skin is riveted. The cabin entrance door is located
on the right side of the fuselage above the wing. The wings and empennage are all metal, full cantilever semi-
monocoque type construction with removable tips.
STRUCTURAL REPAIRS.
Structural repair methods used must be made in accordance with the regulations set forth in FAA Advisory
Circular 43-13-1A. To assist in making repairs and/or replacements, Figure 51-1 identifies the type and
thickness of various skin material used.
No access holes are permitted in any control surfaces. The use of
patch plates for repairs of all movable tail surfaces is prohibited.
The use of any filler material normally used for repair of minor
dents and/or materials used for filling the inside of surfaces is
also prohibited on all movable tail surfaces.
Never make a skin replacement or patch plate from material other than the type of the original skin, or of a
different thickness than the original skin. The repair must be as strong as the original skin. However, flexibility
must be retained so the surrounding areas will not receive extra stress.
