I need some advice. I have been drilling my Fuselage side skins. I accidentally drilled into the bend radius of the longeron splice--not the longeron itself. Because the splice sits inside the longeron the bend starts to crowd the edge distance. It’s kind of a fine line. I got sloppy after a long day. I’m thinking of replacing the splice but I would have to drill new holes in the longeron—leaving the present ones open. Would this would be acceptable. Assuming I am able to follow the 3x diameter between rivet holes and still maintain edge distance. Any other ideas? I am consulting AC 43.13 for a cure.

Yeah, after reading AC 43.13 last night, I agree drilling new holes was a
bad idea. Glad I decided to sleep on it. Sometimes, after making a mistake,
I am too anxious to fix it. There is a lack of information in AC 43.13 about
rivets resting in the bend or drilling too close. This is one of those gray
areas. Glad I put that huge fuselage access door in. I think I will inspect
this area regularly.

Kevin, seems like you could celco in the overlapping splice and drill back through only the good holes from the inside. Without seeing it seems like you could make through the two end hole and celco it and then redrill back through the splice. Best of luck, Bill of Georgia
