Abstract:  
A fellow instructor and I recently conducted onsite training for a company that offers repair and overhaul services for air freight companies. The training consisted of basic and intermediate shot peen training as well as instruction for Roto-Flap peening. During the Roto-Flap training I was treated to a perfect example of why different operators must generate their own saturation curves. This practice is outlined in many specs and the EI Education Division instructors emphasize it in our training.
