This is really common on 787. The purpose for this tape is to cover paint before it can be repainted.

no problem. This aircraft is covered by expensive insurance.

Cover it all in duct tape and make it indestructible.
TheLeanWolf
You shouldn't cover your speed holes like that.

Gaff tape is like $30 a roll and that's just cable specialty. Curious how much airplane specialty tape goes for.
StankyPankySammich
Not sure exactly, but this is speed tape. Super fucking expensive. It’s basically to get it through that flight and then to maintenance.

I...want to depute this, but having lived in alaska, duct tape is required for all flights up here. What's tricky is when you have to do a
fix IN flight.
HeirElfSquire
Welp. Nope.
come OOONNnn! You've never lived until you've had your pilot ask you to take the stick while they climb out and try duct taping up the wing
or even better, the propeller.
