Duct Tape on Critical-Looking Engine mounting



On an AirAsia B737 one day, I saw this duct-tape looking thing on a part on the engine mounting which seems to be a cover of some sort.

At first glance it looked pretty hillarious and yet worrying at the same time.

The Flydamnit crew cleared the misconception up pretty quickly.

not a good practice.but its not for engine mounting,just to hold the panel there.

It is called hi speed tape. Always used on airplane. Suitable for varying temperature,pressure,density and speed. It is as thick as an aluminium can.

Good to know it's not as frail as once thought.
