1. NATURE AND REASON FOR CORROSION MOD. 3841 (ST1 D384; ST2 D; ST3 D429; ST4 D466; ST5 D443)
The corrosion has been found under floor structure on following items: • Change the water repellent protection type from LPS3 to AV8.
a. Supports.
MOD. 3842 (ST1 D403; ST3 D451; ST4 D466; ST5 D462)
b. Intercostals.
• Add draining hole on the lower frames at BL0 in Section 16 at
c. Floor supports. FR 35, 36, 40, 42 for ATR72 and at FR 35, 36, 38, 39, 40 for ATR42.
d. Toilet supports. • Add supplementary draining valve on ATR72.
e. Crease beam. • Move draining valve on ATR42.
f. Slide, front and rear threshold. • Add draining holes at STRG17, 18, 19, 20, 21 RH and LH side.

Corrosion is mainly due to water condensation and humidity coming from
the toilet apparate spillage.
2. RECOMMENDATIONS
• Apply water repellent products according to JIC 122351 PRO 10000
periodically (as required) and keep the area clean.
• Embody SB as indicated in paragraph 4.
3. PRODUCTION CORRECTIVE ACTION
MOD. 3770 (ST1 D388; ST2 D; ST3 D431; ST4 D466; ST5 D443)
• To improve the corrosion life on the seat tracks:
− Apply PR1436G at the seat track ends, located near the rear doors
and toilet area.
MOD. 4016 (ST1 D390; ST2 D; ST3 D438; ST4 D466; ST5 D455)
• Replace the material and the protection of the aluminium 2024T3 +
CAA lavatory door sill by aluminium 7175T7351 + SAA.
• Replace the bolt and anchor nut material.
• Improve sealing by wet assembly of fasteners and sealant interfay.
MOD. 4024 (ST2 D; ST3 D444)
• Install a bead of sealant between the floor components and the rails and
the floor component themselves.
MOD. 4025 (ST1 D392; ST4 D466; ST5 D443)
• Install a bead of sealant between the floor components and the rails and

1. NATURE AND REASON FOR CORROSION 5. REPAIR ACTIONS UNDERTAKEN
The corrosion was found on following items: • Restore damaged protection with alodine + primer + top coat per
a. Strap at frame 38. SRM 51-21-17 and SRM 51-21-27.
b. Tail skid fitting. • Mild corrosion treated by SRM 51-21-42.
c. Angle and stiffener attached to fitting. • For moderate and severe corrosion contact ATR STRUCTURE

FUSELAGE - PAX CREW DOOR THRESHOLD
1. NATURE AND REASON FOR CORROSION MOD. 3841 (ST1 D384; ST2 D; ST3 D429; ST4 D466; ST5 D443)
The corrosion is mostly located on the following areas : • Change the water repellent protection type from LPS3 to AV8.
a. Threshold support plate (sill plate)
MOD. 3845 (ST1 D; ST2 D; ST3 D450 a 450 partial; ST3 D451;
b. Draining channel (pre mod.4069)
ST4 D466; ST5 D443)
c. Intercostals between frames 36 and 39
• Extend the drainage tubes under doors threshold towards the fuselage
d. Frame 36 and 39 at threshold intersection bottom.

The corrosion is mainly due to water accumulation caused by the draining
holes plugged by moisture and the gaps between frames and support plate.
2. RECOMMENDATIONS
• Apply water repellent products according to JIC 122351 PRO 10000
periodically (as required) and keep the area clean.
• Pay particular attention in the draining holes and filters cleaning.
• Embody SB as indicated in par. 4.
MOD. 4069 (ST1 D; ST3 D; ST4 D487; ST5 D484)
• Change the web design to permit an easy cleaning and a better
drainage: deleting the drain channel, enlarging the drain holes and
covering them with a filter.
MOD. 8078 (ST1 D; DB1 + IB2)
• Add filters and increase the length of drain tubes at level of cargo,
servic e and pax/crew door.
