Kontiki
I refused a rental last Sunday because of a shallow (1/2" ) palm sized dent on the top inbd corner of the taxi/landing light panel. No one there knew anything about it.
I called today and was told that it's been there for a few years their mechanic long ago determined it was within limits.
I'm curious and haven't got access to Structural Repair Manual. Is a dent on the top of the wing camber, as described, plausibly within limits, never to be repaired?
It seems like they would at least fix it during an annual.
I haven't been flying this aircraft much in the past few years. I don't remember it being there from a few years back.
I try to make sure I step back and eyeball the overall airplane from a distance and when I'm up top checking the fuel, which is how I noticed this one.
Thanks
