What to do if damage is discovered,
Repairs
If damage is discovered when the harness is
being inspected which affects its
airworthiness, then the harness must be
returned to the manufacturer or an
authorised service centre for repairs. This
also applies to any damage if its effect on
the system’s airworthiness cannot be clearly
determined.
PLEASE NOTE
Repairs should only be carried out by the
manufacturer or an authorised service
centre
