OK Plan for the worst, hope AND WORK for the best. 1. IF this SB turned into an AD. What would be the ballpark of cost for this ultrasonic non destructive inspection? 2. IF the inspection found something wrong, what would be the range of bad findings one could expect, and what would be the range of costs to fix one could expect? I understand this is pure speculation, just trying to ballpark the worst case scenarios.
