I wonder if it is feasible to remove two bolts at a time, do the eddy current check and reinstall the bolts (with new hardware of course) and check each bolt hole?
The eddy current cost for removing 4 bolts and performing the inspection is around 4k (2 bolts each wing)
Removing all 10 bolts on both wings should be easier (two at a time) The cost could be 6-8k ? However once done and all holes have no cracks would be not only be peace of mind, but it would increase the value of the aircraft.
Picture lower spar cap with two bolts removed for inspection
Any comments???
