The issue is probably the inspection to confirm the structural integrity of the rest of the wing - by the time you get that done the new wingtip has arrived so might as well bolt it on.

conehead Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I’ve seen a couple around over the years with only one wing fence. Not very common, but it happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Powick Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 12 hours ago, Canoehead said: What's a "Runway crew member"? One definition is : Ground crew members are responsible for clearing the runway and gate area of any debris or garbage, in order to prevent foreign object damage by an object being sucked into an engine. I think the author is not familiar with the term GROUND CREW and probably assumed that individuals that work on the airport near runways are called Runway Crew Members . The author probably still thinks there are "air-pockets" in the atmosphere and he could also be easily persuaded to go to the hanger and get a "bucket of prop wash", or "the key to the Tacan gate".

If that is not the case and the pilot is near the runway then he/she just careened into the weeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
