Help!

I'm looking for the reference that IAs use to determine if an
airplane is airworthy despite missing a cowling screw, having wing
tip cracks, or a missing piece of carpeting.

It's called the configuration deviation list, or CDL

Is that per airplane model? I've looked through shop manuals and
haven't found a section/doc with that title....





Yes, it's specific to a type. It specifies performance or limitations
down to a missing or damaged bit of airplane. For istance, you might be
able to fly without a small piece of fairing or a panel missing if you
apply a reduced max take off weight. I've never seen one except on
heavies, but the OP asked f there was any kind of document and that's
the only one I know of that meets the description
