It might be argued that this was the case here, although I think the pilots still had full control authority.

I am glad that replacement of the end of the wing was a minor repair not requiring extensive checking of the mainplane structure. Fortunately it is unlikely I will be flying LH in the near future.
If it's an incident fine, all in a word.
