    Looks like it is just an aerodynamic fairing over the flap actuating mechanism, nothing structural. Probably more danger to someone on the ground if fell off and hit them than to anyone on the airplane.

    Love that jet but two port side wing issues in a 2 month timeframe? (Australia a few weeks ago)
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
