This paper describes the methodology used to inspect, assess, and repair advanced composite components on naval aircraft at the Naval Air Rework Facility, North Island. Future considerations for advanced composite repair and maintenance also are addressed. To repair a damaged advanced composite component requires a sequence of events; inspection; assessment; damage removal; repair design, manufacture, and installation; and finally, verification. As new developments within the composite field lead to new applications; maintenance and supportability become major considerations. Well-planned support is essential to the success of an aircraft program.
