What was found
SKIN CRACKED UNDER RT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE INNER NOSE RIB WAS CRUSHED, BROKEN AND CRACKED. THE INNER NOSE RIB ON THE LT SIDE WAS DEFORMED BUT NOT ACTUALLY BROKEN. THE APPEARANCE OF BOTH RT & LT NOSE RIBS WAS CONSISTENT WITH EXCESSIVE COMPRESSION LOADS BEING APPLIED DOWNWARD. REPLACED THE L/E OF THE RT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AND REPLACED BOTH RT & LT INNER NOSE RIBS. PROBABLE CAUSE, IMPROPER GROUND HANDLING.
