## Discrepancy

DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE CHECK INSPECTION BY ALLEGIANT AIR MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING NR 4 SLAT WAS DISCOVERED CAUSED BY A BIRD STRIKE.  THE NR 4 SLAT WAS REMOVED AND THE AIRCRAFT FERRIED FROM BELLINGHAM, WA TO LAS VEGAS, NV.  A NEW SLAT WAS INSTALLED IAW AMM 27-80-01 AND ALL ALLEGIANT AIR GMM PROCEDURES.  OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE FLAP/SLAT SYSTEM WAS ACCOMPLISHED AND THE CHECK WAS NORMAL.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
