...but it will be the first A380 spar repair.

We once repaired a spar on a L-1011 that was damaged in a heavy landing accident in Japan. Remove left wing and replace with another left wing from the desert. Superb job considering the new wing was re-installed outside the manufacturer's jigs. It only required 1 division of rudder trim at 300 knots to compensate for the installation.

The repair on VH-OQA will be a huge challenge and well worth tracking...
