What was found
DURING AN H-CHECK AT ATLANTA, WAVINESS AND SKIN MISMATCH WERE FOUND IN THE AREA OF THE ALTERNATE STATIC PORT. IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE DISCREPANCY, THE FUSELAGE SKIN WAS TRIMMED OUT. HOWEVER, THE FLUSH SKIN REPAIR PER THE DC-9 SRM, CHAPTER 53-04, FIGURE 12C COULD NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED DUE TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY WITH OTHER REPAIRS. THE SUBJECT SKIN PANEL HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. THE EA 99-181020 LOG PAGE 1583873 PROVIDES AUTHORIZATION TO ACCOMPLISH AN ALTERNATE FLUSH SKIN REPAIR. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE IMPENDING REPAIR ASSESSMENT PROGRAM, IT WAS DECIDED TO CONSIDER THIS REPAIR A INTERIM.
