What was found

THE FUSELAGE SKIN AT FS 1055 AND STRINGER 29L WAS FOUND WITH CORROSION RESULTING IN A 2 X 3 CUTOUT TO REMOVE THE DAMAGE. THE CUTOUT WAS ADJACENT TO TWO OTHER EXISTING SKIN REPAIRS. ONE OF THE EXISTING REPAIRS WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A NEW EXTERNAL ALUMINUM DOUBLER TO INCORPORATE PREVIOUS DAMAGES AND TO OVERLAP AN EXISTING REPAIR. ALL REPAIRS WILL BE REMOVED AT NEXT MV AND A NEW SKIN INSTALLED.
