1. PURPOSE
This document is intended to provide ATR operators with general
information on corrosion, with reminders of requirements, instructions and
engineering data included in the ATR Technical Publications and with notes
of the in-service corrosion findings and of subsequent undertaken actions.
This was made in an attempt to assist Air Carriers in easily finding out the
relevant data necessary to develop and implement their maintenance
program for corrosion and to take appropriate preventive and curative
actions when necessary.
A maintenance program for corrosion is required to prevent corrosion that
may jeopardize the continued airworthiness of the aircraft.
The ATR MRB Document which represents the baseline maintenance
program has been established during the MSG-3 analysis process upon
mean environment and use conditions and is assumed as the optimum
provisional maintenance program to meet the regulation and the needs of
the typical operator.
Systematic corrosion damage in the fleet will result in a modification of the
MRBD and MPD requirements, initiated by ATR.
Operators remain responsible, under the surveillance of their respective
competent Authorities, to adapt their maintenance program to non-typical
conditions, as far as corrosion is concerned, taking into account their
corrosion findings during successive scheduled inspections.
The information material contained in this document may be used by the
operators in this respect.
Doc. N° : DS/ET 531. 0129/91 REV. 2
The FAA AC 43-4A has been a valuable source of information for the
redaction of this Document and Air Carriers are advised to take full
knowledge of its content.
Certain information presented in this document, such as:
• Instructions for removal of corrosion,
• Baseline Maintenance Program requirements,
• General procedures for inspections,
are extracted, in part or in totality, from ATR Technical Publications,
especially from:
• Structural Repair Manual,
• MRB Document,
• Maintenance Manual.
It is made clear that operators shall refer to the applicable sections of these
Publications as the sole relevant data, while this document is of an advisory
nature.
The operator is strongly recommended to provide information to ATR
STRUCTURE ENGINEERING SUPPORT for any corrosion findings
using the "Corrosion Inspection Report" form on page 2.6.

2.1. INTRODUCTION
The corrosion is the deterioration of a metal due to chemical or
electrochemical action that converts it into metallic compound such oxide,
hydroxide or sulfate.
The corrosion is more likely to occur or to spread as the airplane ages and,
if not controlled, can reduce the capability of the structure to carry the
required loads.
Four conditions must exist before corrosion can occur:
a. Presence of a metal tending to corrode (anode).
b. Presence of dissimilar conductive material (cathode) with less tendency
to corrode.
c. Presence of conductive liquid.
d. Electrical contact between the anode and the cathode.
The elimination of any of these conditions will stop corrosion.
The corrosion control program is intended to take full advantage of the
overall experience of the fleet and to propose corrective actions
(additional protections, specific modifications, etc.) or modifications to the
maintenance plan (increase or decrease of maintenance task interval).
Doc. N° : DS/ET 531. 0129/91 REV. 4
Corrosion levels are defined in Appendix 4 of EASA AMC 20-20 as
follows:
 Level 1 corrosion is:
(1) Corrosion occurring between successive corrosion inspection
tasks that is local and can be reworked or blended out within the
allowable limit;
Or,
(2) Corrosion damage that is local and exceeds the allowable limit,
but can be attributed to an event not typical of operator’s usage of
other aircraft in the same fleet (e.g. mercury spill);
Or,
(3) Operator experience has demonstrated only light corrosion
between each successive corrosion inspection task inspection; and,
the latest corrosion inspection task results in rework or blend out
that exceeds the allowable limit.
 Level 2 corrosion is:
Corrosion occurring between any two successive corrosion
inspections task that requires a single rework or blend out which
exceeds the allowable limit.
Or,
Corrosion occurring between successive inspections that is
widespread and requires a single blend-out approaching allowable
rework limits. i.e. it is not light corrosion as provided for in Level 1,
definition (3).

Dec. 2014
 C.P.C.I.C.F.
2. GENERALITY
A finding of Level 2 corrosion requires repair, reinforcement or complete
or partial replacement of the applicable structure.
 Level 3 corrosion is:
Corrosion occurring during the first or subsequent accomplishments of a
corrosion inspection task that the operator determines to be an urgent
airworthiness concern.
NOTE: IF LEVEL 3 CORROSION IS DETERMINED AT THE
IMPLEMENTATION THRESHOLD OR ANY REPEAT
INSPECTION THEN IT SHOULD BE REPORTED. ANY
CORROSION THAT IS MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM
ACCEPTABLE TO THE DESIGN APPROVAL HOLDER OR
THE AGENCY MUST BE REPORTED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS. THIS DETERMINATION
SHOULD BE CONDUCTED JOINTLY WITH THE DAH.
Allowable damage limits are given in the SRM.
Doc. N° : DS/ET 531. 0129/91 REV. 4
2.3. CORROSION PRONE AREA
Some areas of the aircraft are prone to corrosion due to the particular
structural detail, to dissimilar metal, build-up of moisture, engine exhaust
gas deposit, accumulation of water, debris, loose fasteners, hydraulic
fluids, ineffective drain holes plugged by dirt, grease, abrasion, etc.
The main areas prone to corrosion are:
 Door areas.
 Lavatories, galley and luggage compartment understructure.
 Internal surface of fuselage lower panels.
 Landing gear wheel wells.
 Joint with steel, C.RE.S, nickel or titanium fasteners.
 Batteries compartment.
 Rear pressure bulkhead.
 Electrical connectors.
 Lap joints and butt joints.
 Trailing edge. open areas.
These areas should be checked for corrosion whenever possible and the
causes that favour corrosion eliminated (water accumulation, spillage of
any kind, dirt, plugged drain holes, etc.).
Page 2.3
Dec. 2014
 C.P.C.I.C.F.
2. GENERALITY
2.4. CORROSION TREATMENT
Mild and moderate corrosion not exceeding the allowable damage limits
(see the SRM appropriate chapters) must be treated as per SRM Chapter
51-21-42.
NOTE: TO AVOID THE CORROSION TO RE-OCCUR, IT IS
ESSENTIAL TO PERFORM A COMPLETE
DECONTAMINATION OF THE AFFECTED PARTS
PRIOR TO APPLY ANY REPAIR INSTRUCTION.
Severe or moderate corrosion out of allowable limits requires the
application of approved repair data or replacement of the affected parts.
During successive inspections requiring rework / blend-out, the possibility
to reach the allowable limits must be checked (previous material removal
must be accounted for).
2.5. CORROSION INSPECTION AND MEASUREMENT
The extent and the depth of any corrosion must be clearly identified.
The visual inspection is the most common means to detect corrosion.
If the visual inspection is deemed not effective (hidden corrosion
suspected) adequate inspection technique or disassembling shall be
performed.
The most common means of inspection, other than visual inspection, to
detect corrosion are:
Doc. N° : DS/ET 531. 0129/91 REV. 2
Eddy current inspection.
Eddy current (primarily low frequency) can be used to detect thinning due
to corrosion and cracks in multilayered structure. Low frequency eddy
current can be used to detect corrosion in underlying structure because the
Eddy current will penetrate in the second layer with sufficient sensitivity
for approximate results.
X-RAY inspection.
The X-RAY technique is effective for severe or moderate-to severe
corrosion but its use is limited for mild-to-moderate corrosion. In any case
X-RAY requires qualified and certified personnel to obtain reliable
results.
Ultrasonic inspection
Ultrasonic inspection provides sensitive detection capability for corrosion
damage detection when access is available to a surface with a continuous
bulk of material exposed to corrosion. Ultrasonic inspection is commonly
used to detect exfoliation, stress corrosion cracks and general thinning of
material.
Trained personnel must conduct the examination if any useful information
has to be derived from indicating devices.
Use of calibration block may be required.

2.6. RECOMMENDATIONS

For each zone of the aircraft the following recommendations are given
when performing inspection:

 Prior to performing inspections, remove equipment and interiors as

required;
 Clean the zone to be inspected;
 Perform the visual inspection of all structure parts (primary and
secondary located in the zone);
 Inspect existing repairs with particular attention;
 If any doubt of hidden corrosion arises (bulging of the skin,
discrepant fasteners, any anomaly to the paint or to sealing, etc.)
non-destructive inspection or disassembling is required;
 If corrosion is found, define clearly its extent and remove it
completely as per SRM Chapter 51-21-42.

NOTE: PLEASE FILL IN THE "CORROSION INSPECTION

REPORT" TO BE FOUND IN AMM JIC 51-00-00 GVI
10000 AND SEND IT TO ATR (structuredata@atr.fr).
 Repair or replace corroded parts as required;
 Dry blankets or replace with new as necessary;
 Apply water repellent corrosion inhibiting materials.

3. CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL PROGRAM APPLICATION
The following instructions are applicable to each zone of ATR42 and
ATR72 aircraft:
• Baseline Maintenance Programs are given in MRB/MPD of ATR42
and ATR72 and were developed for aircraft operating in average
environmental conditions and therefore shall be considered as the
optimum provisional Programs for typical operators.
• Any change to the Baseline Maintenance Programs is subjected to
approval of the (Regulatory Agency) National Airworthiness Authority
(NAA) of each operator.
• Threshold of inspection starts at the aircraft FIRST FLIGHT. Repeat
interval of inspection starts at the time the last inspection was
performed.
• Operators having an existing Corrosion Prevention and Control Program
may continue with their existing Program if proven effective and if the
objective of this document are met.
• Operators without Corrosion Prevention and Control Program
shall implement the Baseline Maintenance Program.
When applying the Baseline Program, pay special attention to
the operating environment or corrosive cargo loading.
• Individual operators having similar operating environment may group
together for the application of the Corrosion Prevention and Control
Program.
Doc. N° : DS/ET 531. 0129/91 REV. 3
• Request for extension of the threshold/repeat interval of inspection of
the aircraft can be submitted to Regulatory Agency (NAA) of each
operator if corrosion findings are at NO CORROSION between
successive inspections.
• The Corrosion Prevention and Control Program is considered effective
if the corrosion findings during successive inspections are MILD
CORROSION or NO CORROSION.
• If the corrosion findings are MODERATE CORROSION, the
Corrosion Prevention and Control Program is considered not
effective. Adjustment (decrease of the threshold/interval of
inspections), based on the specific experience, shall be made to
the Program to maintain the corrosion findings during successive
inspections at MILD CORROSION or NO CORROSION.
• If the corrosion findings are SEVERE CORROSION, immediate
actions to define the causes of such corrosion shall be
implemented, inspection extended to the rest of the fleet shall
be performed and adjustment to the Corrosion Prevention and
Control Program may be made to bring the level of corrosion
between successive inspections at MILD CORROSION or NO
CORROSION.
• Depending of the corrosion occurrence related to the
environment and operational severity conditions, the frequency
of the inspections given in the Baseline Maintenance Program
shall be adjusted on the base of the operator specific experience.

7.1. MATERIAL SELECTION

In order to reach the life objectives of 25 years for the structure, particular
attention has been paid to corrosion preventive measures from the earliest
design stage.

A complete and consistent corrosion protection is applied to the ATR

structure. This protection is adapted to the material types as well as to the
environment.

Aluminum alloys (2024 and 7075) are generally used on ATR, with
different heat treatment.

The 7000 series aluminum alloys used on the ATR are heat treated to
produce either T6, T73 or T76 tempers.

T73 has excellent stress corrosion and exfoliation corrosion resistance. T76
temper has strength between T73 and T6, with high exfoliation corrosion
resistance and intermediate stress corrosion resistance.

The fasteners have been installed according to the table given on

page 7.3.
