The feds are all over my company right now for, well a number of things, one of which is deice boot patches that are delaminating (beginning to peal off). Generally maintenance fixes this problem by re-securing the edges of the patch. Recently they have been cutting off the part of the patch which is delaminating. Is this legal? It may seem like a small thing to worry about, but when the feds are sending out LOIs for this sort of thing, I'd like to know. Anyone with a maintenance background or experience in this area know if what they are doing is legal?
