6.6 Surface of Composite Structures
During any type 2.b or higher inspection (100 or more engine hours or annually) the total surface of the
powered glider shall be inspected for damage or cracks. Look carefully for signs of hidden structural damage
during inspection. Bottom sides of fuselage, wings and elevator should be checked for damage by stone
strike. Check all labels and repair or renew if necessary (specially national flag and registration).
Additional remarks about identification of structural damage, specially in force transfer areas etc. can be
found in section 7.1 in relevant subsections for components.
According to the type approval data sheet the surface may only be coloured in white except for registration
and areas for warning colours. Warning colours can be used from wing tips to 30 cm / 1 ft inboard, at the
propeller-dome and at the landing gear doors. For use of the white paint observe the statements in the Repair
Guide „Minor repair to components of fibrous composite material“ (Annex A).
