Mine was removed. Other than making for a bigger step up into the plane, I have never missed having one.

Honestly I didn’t know if any of the fixed steps still existed, most have been removed, mine by PO.

Mine still has the step.  My wife and daughter appreciate the assist.

I use my fixed step twice per flight, more with pax.

When the PO had a gear up (2003?), it was replaced.

The step should be kept for those passenger unfamiliar or of limited walking ability or kids. Falling into the ramp can ruin your day, keep it, is there for a reason.

Honesty may not be the best policy...

I think I saw marauders girls checking out your plane...   (better?)

consider a used replacement part?  @acpartswhse, @Alan Fox

Consider a new part...  Lasar.com. Dan in parts...

Why did it break - Corrosion?    If there corrosion in the step there may be elsewhere.  Not trying to be an alermist but I would take a close look.

I really can spell, just can not type, and too impatient to proofread.
