Many thanks for all your input...i checked the SRM and found the repair..the repair will be carried out by cutting out the damage and installing an external doubler repair with a filler on the frame because the missing rivet runs through a frame and stringer.
Cheers,
We found missing rivet and a crack of 6 mm found on the rivet hole. These is located in a pressurized fuselage skin. Can I do a stopped drill crack or have to carry out an external doubler repair?
