Narrative

ON AUG/TUE/05 I WAS WALKING PAST ACFT X WHEN I NOTICED A PIECE OF SPD TAPE ON THE NOSE GEAR R FORWARD DOOR. THERE WAS NO STICKER ON FOR DAMAGE FILE REF. SO I ASKED MY LEAD IF HE COULD CHK ON IT IF IT WAS IN THE DAMAGE FILE AND IT WAS NOT. THE ACFT WAS IN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS FOR A CARGO STRINGER REPAIR SO WE COULD REPAIR THIS TOO. I PROCEEDED TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE AS PER THE SRM 51-70-05. WHILE I WAS REPAIRING THIS DAMAGE; MY MGR ASKED ME WHY WE (THE COMPOSITE SHOP) WERE WORKING THIS LINE ACFT AND I TOLD HIM HOW I FOUND THE DAMAGE AND HOW THE LINE CAME OVER TO WRITE IT UP. A COUPLE OF HRS LATER MY FOREMAN ASKED ME HOW WE FOUND THIS DAMAGE; AND I TOLD HIM THE SAME AS I TOLD MY MGR. HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT MY FOREMAN TOLD HIM THAT I WAS DELIBERATELY TRYING TO GND ACFT AND IF IT WASN'T MY JOB; I SHOULDN'T BE LOOKING AT IT. I IGNORED THIS ACCUSATION AGAINST ME AND CONTINUED THE REPAIR. AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE; I TAP TESTED IT AND IT TAP TESTED GOOD. INSPECTION WAS ALSO INVOLVED AND THE 'DISBOND' CHK THAT THEY DID ALSO TESTED GOOD. I THEN SEALED THE REPAIR; PRIMED IT AND PAINTED IT ALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH SRM REF 51-70-05 AND SIGNED THE LOGBOOK.
