DC-10 tail cone placard.. 1

[KirbyWan]

Howdy all,

We had someone do a nice DA sanding job on a door panel without removing the placard. Now we don't know what the placard was supposed to read. If anyone happens to be near a DC-10 and can take a picture of the tail cone so we can figure out what this plate is supposed to read I would appreciate it. In DC-10 CMM/IPC in referenc 53-52-04 figure 1101 item 354AC. See attaced pictures from the manual below

Probably says "Do not sand this placard off"

 

[KirbyWan]

If only they all said that. I've been able to make out everything but the first line and the last word on the second line. It sais to the best I can read or guess the follwing with those words I'm less sure of in parenthesis.

Purchase the drawing to ensure that it is restored to it's type certificated configuration, don't guess or be cheap.

Awesome Rerig. I guess the other section of the CMM/IPC is in error. I'll send a note up to Boeing to correct it.

KirbyWan,
Boeing have a series of standards for their placards which depends upon application. I'm sure that McD had similar.
Take care to use suitable alternate materials. Remember to edge seal, and make it from really tough abrasion resistant material next time, or better train staff.
