RE: Try explaining this one to the boss
I wouldn't want to get in it if it were fixed. You don't know what internal damage it caused. It could do a payne Stewart and blow a bulkhead on climbout and you are toast, or the wing mounts could be fractured and it won't show up for years. I remember a 421 that had a hard landing and no damage. 11 years later a guy was straight and level at 1000 feet in smooth air and the wing came off. They traced it back to a crack that occured during that hard landing from the inspection logs they did on the hard landing inspection.
