Classic British Flight Sim

Investigators now saying they are looking at the emergency beacon as the cause of the fire.

Irony Alert beacon is now flashing.

Sad state of affairs isn't it? Pilots that can't fly a visual approach and aircraft that spontaneously combust.

How do you repair a composite hull that has had fire damage in an area where there are two doors (weak) and a pressure bulkhead?

Filler and an aerosol can of paint? I bet Halfords can do Boeing 787 white. Or maybe some Duct/Duck tape?

Is repairing composite airliner hulls unknown territory?

Might need a very big oven device to cure the repair...I am doubtful that it can safely be repaired

Ask DaveB, he uses foam and epoxy

Brilliant!

Not suffered a fire yet but EPO foam and epoxy will do the job.. I can guarantee it Not sure they have an airing cupboard big enough to bake the glue mind you

They could switch on the galley oven

Get your estimate in early Dave, you're probably as experienced as anybody at this sort of repair.
