Corrosion Control For Aircraft

This advisory circular (AC) is a summary of current available data regarding identification and treatment of corrosive attack on aircraft structure and engine materials. Corrosion inspection frequency, corrosion identification, and corrosion treatment continues to be the responsibility of the operator and should be accomplished per this AC, the manufacturer's recommendations, or the operator's own maintenance program. The procedures presented in this AC are an acceptable means, but not the only acceptable means, of corrosion treatment.

The information contained in this AC is applicable to aircraft for which the manufacturer has not published corrosion control information. Where the aircraft manufacturer has published a recommended corrosion inspection schedule and treatment program for a particular aircraft, that program should take precedence over the recommendations of this AC.
