A320 Horizontal Stablizer Dents 'n Dings
Anybody else noticed how hammered these get after a few years? Snow, rocks, who knows what else seem to get tossed at the leading edge by the main gear.
Any estimates as to the fuel burn impact of significat irregularities in the leading edge? My company has been on a quest to save every ounce (milliliter?) of fuel, to the point that 10 pounds per leg is considered "significant." Any input?
