## Discrepancy

RVSM DAMAGE, SKIN WAVINESS EXCEEDS RVSM TOLERANCES, BUT WITHIN STANDARDS FOR SAFE FLIGHT IAW SRM.  AIRCRAFT IS NON RVSM COMPLIANT CONDITION UNTIL IS REPAIRED OR CORRECTED IAW SRM 53-11-11.  IAW SEQ 6672002, DAMAGE IS WITHIN LIMITS, REQUIRES RII INSPECTION TO CONFIRM AERODYNAMIC SMOOTHNESS IAW SRM 53-00-11 TO QUALIFY RVSM STATUS.  ORIGINAL DAMAGE CUT IN CAPTAIN`S STATIC PORT 4 INCHES IN LENGTH, DEPTH LESS THAN .001 INCH, HALF INCH ABOVE BOTTOM RED LINE & SAME ON AFT SIDE OF RED LINE.  FOUND OK IAW SRM 53-00-00 & 53-00-11.
