This document provides repair procedures for wing-to-fuselage junctions on a Dassault Falcon jet prior to wing installation. It outlines inspection and corrosion removal steps, including sanding small corrosion pits less than 0.1mm deep or using vacu-blasting for deeper pits. Surfaces are then prepared by filling junction lines with compound and allowing it to cure before wing installation can begin.

After removal d wing (s) and joint plate, thoroughly inspect the mating faces of the center wing, wing and joint plate for condition.
In the case where corrosion traces (even small traces) are noticed, it is necessary to perform thorough corrosion removal and to protect the surfaces before reassembling the wings.
2 - Equipment and materials
- Spatula and scrapers (Plexiglas) (to be made locally)
- VACU BLAST and corundum-mesh : 90 to 125 (glass balls prohibited) - Sanding blocks (wood or rubber) - Masking paper and adhesive tape - Carborundum abrasive paper (called water-sanding paper) grade NO. 150, 320 or 400 - White lintless cotton cloths - Methyl-ethyl-ketone (MEK) or equivalent US product - Aliphatic naphtha grade F - White cotton gloves - Stripping product : COMORCAP Bl - PR 1422 B1/2 or PR 14 22 B 2 compound - AG5 rods - length : 50 to 60 mm - dia . corresponding to injection hole dia. (one rod end should be tapered through grinding) (to be made locally for plugging the PR compound injection holes). - Polyethylene plugs : - 1 set T. MY20.57.002/1 (12 mm dia. ) - 1 set T. MY20.57.002/2 (14 mm dia. ) - 1 set T.MY20.57.002/3 (16 mm dia. ).
3 - Removal of injected PR compound beads and PR compound filling the junction lines between wing and center wing.
The PR 1422 compound is removed using a mechanical means (beveled plastic scraper) and cloths soaked with MEK and wrung dry. Take all usual precautions so as not to scratch the anti-bacteria paint (PR 1560 MC) up to the bare metal.
NOTE : Generally, each injected bead breaks apart within iis shearing plane when the wing or the joint plate is being removed ; each section of the broken bead remains stuck to the two surfaces previously in contact, which indicates that the anti-bacteria paint adhen& c~ectly. As regards the front, center and rear panel junction lines at the wing and center wing upper and lower surfaces, it is necessary to remove the PR compound present up to the constriction (space between panels ) :
- Inspect the face on the opposite side of the constriction : if one or several cracks are noticed throughout the PR compound, remove the whole compound. Proceed with inspection, checking the spaces between panels on front and rear spar side.

4. Corrosion detection
Corrosion detection should be performed with care at wing-to-center wing junction, as well as on the joint plate, paying special attention to the following : - injection grooves on joint plate - junction surfaces - attaching bolt holes - junction lines between wing and center wing panels.
NOTE : A - No surface treatment and no trace of 1560 MC paint at the junction.
After stripping the paint (if applicable) with COMORCAP B 1 product, remove ‘any corrosion as described in para. 5
B. With the joint plate, two casesare possible :
(1) The plate is unpainted : if corrosion is found, perform trimming as described in para. 5. (2) The plate is already painted : perform the relevant operations of chapter 57-0040 ; if corrosion removal is required, proceed as described in para. 5. The areas not in contact with the wing or fuselage mating surfaces shall be protected with 1560 MC paint after a surface treatment with Alodine 1200 gel.
5. Corrosion removal
- Remove the paint from the surfaces concerned : center wing junction surface, wing junction surface, etc. This operation should be performed using the recommended stripping product applied with a brush. - As soon as the PR compound softens, remove the coat with a Plexiglas scraper and repeat stripping and scraping operations until the PR compound is fully removed. - Clean the stripped surfaces with MEK. - Estimate the depth of corrosion pits or holes and choose the best procedure for trimming : . sanding for corrosion pits or holes with a depth smaller than or equal to 0,l mm ; . VACU BLAST process for corrosion pits or holes with a depth greater than 0,l mm. NOTE : The VACU BLAST process is forbidden on aircraft. It shall be applied but on components which can - be treated in an appropriate room (ex. : the joint plate).
A. Detailed corrosion removal procedure (trimming)
( 1) Perform sanding in the case where corrosion traces are not deep and grouped together. - Sand the surface concerned, first using carborundum abrasive paper No. 150 dampened with aliphatic naphtha grade F. When corrosion traces are almost removed, complete sanding with abrasive paper No. 320 or 400 still dampened with aliphatic naphtha grade F, until the last corrosion traces are removed.

(2) Perform local sanding in the casewhere corrosion traces are not deep and scattered. (3) If corrosion traces consist of pits or holes with a depth greater than 0,l mm, use a metal scraper then proceed I as described in para. A ( 1) In any case, clean the surface concerned with a lintless cotton cloth soaked with MEK (and wrung dry). Make sure that no corrosion trace subsists. NOTE : Always pour the solvent onto the cloth and never dip the cloth into the solvent.
6. Surface preparation before protection
Once trimming is completed :
- perform dry dust removal (all treated surfaces, including bores)
- thoroughly degrease all bores and injection holes, as well as the vertical junction lines of the center wing and wing root, using a lintless cotton cloth soaked with MEK (and wrung dry) - the cleaningldegreasing operation is completed when the cloth remains clean.
A, Junction line filling
- Fill the junction lines with plenty of PR 1422 B2 compound until excess compound passesthrough the space between panels up to the recess. - Allow to cure (approx. 4 days, depending on ambient temperature and relative humidity) before cutting the compound flush, so as to prevent the latter from shrinking. - Cut the compound flush. NOTE : To accelerate installation, it is possible to use PR 1422 B1/2 compound whose drying time in the same - hygrometry and temperature conditions is shorter by half with respect to that of 1422 B2 compound. From this stage of the operations, carry out the wing installation preliminary steps (see chapter 57).
