[QUOTE="FedExwhistleblower, post: 1313916, member: 52987"] If they meet the requirements of part 43. Which it does not due to the environmental conditions and the fact that the aircraft moves around in the wind. There have been instances of buckling of the skins, parts that don't fit including tailcones, holes not lining up, shoring (hydraulic jacks) moving because of the temperature changes, etc. None of that is acceptable. [SIZE=5][B]§43.13 Performance rules (general).[/B][/SIZE] (a) Each person performing maintenance, alteration, or preventive maintenance on an aircraft, engine, propeller, or appliance shall use the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the current manufacturer's maintenance manual or Instructions for Continued Airworthiness prepared by its manufacturer, or other methods, techniques, and practices acceptable to the Administrator, except as noted in §43.16. He shall use the tools, equipment, and test apparatus necessary to assure completion of the work in accordance with accepted industry practices. If special equipment or test apparatus is recommended by the manufacturer involved, he must use that equipment or apparatus or its equivalent acceptable to the Administrator. (b) Each person maintaining or altering, or performing preventive maintenance, shall do that work in such a manner and use materials of such a quality, that the condition of the aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, or appliance worked on [B]will be at least equal to its original or properly altered condition (with regard to aerodynamic function, structural strength, resistance to vibration and deterioration, and other qualities affecting airworthiness).
