validation which would provide evidence of correct operability.
J. CPC Basic Task - (Use as referenced in preceding tasks)
SUBTASK 54-05-03-010-012
(1) Do the CPC Basic Task item 1 as follows:
(a) Remove all obscuring systems, equipment, material and furnishings to allow access to
the area to be inspected. It is not necessary to remove bushings unless specified in the
task description, or there is an indication of corrosion, or the bushing has migrated.
SUBTASK 54-05-03-100-001
(2) Do the CPC Basic Task item 2 as follows:

(a) When cleaning the inspection area as necessary to accomplish the inspection, it is not
necessary to remove sealant/leveling compound or protective films or finishes unless
these items have deteriorated to the point where moisture can penetrate. A light uniform
film of corrosion inhibiting compound (CIC) that has not accumulated dirt or debris will
normally allow adequate inspection of the structure without CIC removal. Obscuring CIC
may require removal if there are multiple layers, evidence of moisture, and/or
accumulations of dirt and debris.
SUBTASK 54-05-03-212-023
(3) Do the CPC Basic Task item 3 as follows:
(a) Visually inspect all structures items and other structure listed in the Structures and Zonal
Maintenance Inspection Requirements for evidence of corrosion or hidden corrosion. The
inspection method is as specified in each task description. Use additional non-destructive
inspections or visual inspections if there are indications of hidden corrosion, such as
bulging skins, or corrosion running into splices or under fittings, etc. Note possible effects
from adjacent items not specified in the Structures Requirements that may have caused
corrosion problems.
SUBTASK 54-05-03-410-013
(4) Do the CPC Basic Task item 4 as follows:
(a) If corrosion is found during any maintenance opportunities, in addition to and including
activities specified in these Requirements, remove all corrosion (see SRM or
CORROSION PREVENTION - CORROSION REMOVAL, SUBJECT 51-00-53), evaluate
damage, and repair or replace all discrepant structure as necessary including restoration
of protective finishes, sealants and other materials.
SUBTASK 54-05-03-160-001
(5) Do the CPC Basic Task item 5 as follows:
(a) Clear any blocked drainage holes or gaps, and sources of blockage that may hinder
drainage, as applicable.
SUBTASK 54-05-03-916-001
(6) Do the CPC Basic Task item 6 as follows:
WARNING: CORROSION INHIBITOR CONTAINS FLAMMABLE COMPONENTS. DO NOT
EXPOSE THESE MATERIALS TO OPEN FLAME, ACTIVE ELECTRICAL
CIRCUITS OR OTHER COMPONENTS WHERE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD
MAY EXIST. MAINTAIN SAFETY PRECAUTIONS UNTIL ALL VOLATILE
MATERIALS HAVE EVAPORATED TO INCLUDE INSTALLATION OF
INSULATION BLANKETS.
(a) Restore inspection area finishes, sealants, corrosion inhibiting compounds or lubricants
per the current prescribed procedures in the applicable SRM or Corrosion Prevention
Manual. Apply suitable approved water-displacing/anti-corrosion compounds, finishes,
sealants or lubrication as appropriate and only if the previous coat has been disturbed or
removed except as noted below. As an option, operators may apply a single coat of water
displacing/anti-corrosion compound that penetrates faying surfaces, displaces moisture
and forms a durable barrier after drying (e.g. a single coat per compound, G50071 BMS
3-35) where the initial or previous coat has been disturbed or removed. It is
recommended, in areas with high potential for severe corrosion, to apply a dual
application of a single coat of corrosion inhibiting compound, G00009 BMS 3-23 or
equivalent covered by a single coat of compound, C00755 BMS 3-26 Type II or
equivalent.
NOTE: Do not apply water displacing/anti-corrosion compounds in the following areas:

• Cables, pulleys, wiring, plastics, elastomers, oxygen systems.

• Lubricated or Teflon surfaces (e.g. greased joints, sealed bearings).
• Adjacent to tears or holes in insulation blankets.
• Areas with electrical arc potential.
• Interior materials, including cargo liners.
• Engine strut cavities or cowling structure.
• APU, APU shroud or any structure in direct contact with the APU.
• Over compound, C00174 Cosmoline 1058 or equivalent per MIL-C-16173 Grade 1.
• Fiberglass ducts where temperature exceeds 220 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees
Centigrade).
SUBTASK 54-05-03-680-001
(7) Do the CPC Basic Task item 7 as follows:
(a) Ventilate and dry any wet insulation blankets prior to re-installing, or replace with new, as
necessary. Reinstall insulation blankets with drainage holes down, facing interior of
airplane.
