1. Repairable Damage
A. Bonded doors may be repaired by the same methods used for riveted structure. Rivets are a
satisfactory substitute for bonded seams on these assemblies. The strength of the bonded seams in
doors may be replaced by a single 3/32, 2117-AD rivet per running inch of bond seam. The standard
repair procedures outlined in AC43.13-1b are also applicable to bonded doors.
