2. If the protrusion does not exceed .10-inch, no further action is necessary.

3. If the protrusion exceeds .10-inch, remove the wing and measure the edge distance of the wing attachment hole in the center section lower spar in accordance with Figure 1. Provide this information to the manufacturer and thereafter operate or modify the airplane in accordance with FAA-approved limitations or instructions provided by the manufacturer.
