## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION THE LEFT AND RIGHT CANTED RIB CAPS P/N 5722206-1 AND 5722206-2 WERE FOUND CRACKED APPROXIMATELY 1 INCH BEHIND THE FORWARD SPAR.  WHILE ACCOMPLISHING THE REPAIR TO THIS AREA, ANOTHER CRACK WAS FOUND IN THE LEFT WING/FUSELAGE CLOSEOUT P/N 6720001-3.  THE CLOSEOUT CANNOT BE SEEN UNTIL THE WING FAIRINGS ARE REMOVED, THUS IT CANNOT BE SEEN DURING NORMAL INSPECTION.
