SIP

[avio]

In certain overhaul manuals, the manufacturer refers to "SIP" or "Standard Industry Practices"for inspection, cleaning or repairs;they DO NOT mean the(ir) Standard Practices Manual!
What do you Americans mean by SIP? Do you simply mean something like "do it like you learnt it at school and use common sense", or is there a reference book (like the SAE manual)which lists SIP's?
Thanks for your reply,

I am not 100% sure on this one, but it seems to me that what you are refering to is:
AC 43.13-1B ACCEPTABLE METHODS, TECHNIQUES, AND PRACTICES-AIRCRAFT INSPECTION AND REPAIR (09-08-98)

You can download the AC from this link:

Good luck.
