Classification".

The decision whether to repair or replace a major unit of
structure will be influenced by factors such as time and labor
available, and by comparison of labor costs with the price of
replacement assemblies. Past experience indicates that re-
placement, in many cases, is less costly than major repair.
Certainly, when the aircraft must be restored to its airworthy
condition within limited time, replacement is preferable.
