Narrative:
Aircraft routine overnight check in ZZZ the previous night. There was a reinspection of l-hand horizontal stabilizer dent required. I knew it was routine overnight check in YYY the next day so I thought the reinspection would take place in YYY. Why would you stop aircraft when it is routine overnight check in or at a maintenance station or maintenance base?
