What was found

DURING A PHASE NR 5 A CRACH WAS FOUND IN THE LT & RT WHEEL WELL AREA ADJACENT TO THE INSIDE CORNER OF THE OPENING AT THE WHEEL WELL. A REPAIR WAS DONE AS PER SERRIA INDUSTRIES WING SKIN REPAIR ENGINEERING REPORT NR 3521-36 AND A DER 8110-3. THIS REPAIR HAS BEEN DONE ON SEVERAL OF OUR (26) AIRCRAFT AND IS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE IN THE FIELD. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CESSNA TO COME OUT WITH A SB KIT FOR THIS FIX FOR US IN THE FIELD RATHER THAN HAVING TO GET DER SUPPORTON OUR OWN.
