Narrative:

Aircraft xyz was out of service due to #2 tire lost cap and damaged left inboard fore flap, trailing edge flap, and wing panel attaching to gear beam. At the start of shift, XA30 on may/xa/98, I was notified the extrusion replacement and panel replacement were going well and panel was ready to be installed. At XD30 I was notified there was a problem with the panel gear beam holes. The panel was removed, and gear beam holes reinspected. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the support beam panel was installed but some doubt existed about the condition of the fastener holes. The reporter ordered the panel removed the holes checked and corrosion was found. The reporter said the corrosion was cleaned up and the holes were within limits so no rework was required. The reporter stated the aircraft incurred a long OTS time.
