The purpose of this document is to examine the damage threat environment that thestructure is exposed to through the complete lifecycle of the structure – from layupand cure to assembly and service. This document will list all potential types of damagethe aircraft could experience.These potential damage threats can be broken down into the following categories:

Manufacturing Baggage handling Tire Fragments and stones from the landing gear Hail in flight Hail on the ground Damage around the door region

Lightning strike Water intrusion Bleed air Rotorburst Engine fire Separation of aircraft components in flight Bird strike
