FloridaMan Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 My second concern that I've posted in a week, I'm starting to feel like I'm claiming the sky is falling. I took a friend up for his first plane ride yesterday. On return, I taxied over to the tiedown area and an extremely pissed off line guy pulls up in a pickup truck and motions for me to follow him, which I did. The guy parking me was also in a bad mood. I tell them my intentions that I was leaving in the morning and they said that they would not move the airplane. They moved the plane. Whenever I leave it with anyone, I feel behind the turning assembly. It's always rough, but this time, it felt like there was a small, maybe 3mm indentation on the right (facing forward) side of the nose gear assembly where I guess it would hit. Is this something that I should be concerned over? A previous FBO claimed that there was damage as I posted in my topic about a bent tie down ring, but I think that was just them being overly cautious as there has always been a rough paint texture there, but never what I feel as a dimple. Is that dimple something to be concerned about? Is there anything else that I should take a closer look at?
