It is indeed, we remove both winglets to take a look inside them and check the wiring for the lights, corrosion and cracks.

Well it all depends how much manpower you have available. With enough manpower and nice tooling i would say it can take 4-5 days.

Looks awesome. I assume it’s a Lufthansa facility or something? It must be even better given you can work on a range of airlines aircraft!

Actually this was my former company. I was there 2 years and a half. Now I work with the lufthansa 747-400/-8 mainly. Sometimes 330/340 also.
