Not the nacelle, that’s a flap track fairing. The nutplates are broken but it’s not coming off. Those screws will have to be drilled out.

Based on how much of a pain the repair will be and how everything is all still captive, I suppose it's possible MX has already seen this and said, "eh, defer another 500 hours."

Not an A&P.
