## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION, THE LEFT CANTED RIB CAP P/N 5722206-1 WAS FOUND CRACKED APPROXIMATELY 1 INCH AFT OF THE FORWARD WING SPAR.  WHILE REPAIRING THIS CRACK THE UPPER WING TO FUSELAGE CLOSEOUT ANGLE P/N 5720001-3 WAS FOUND CRACKED.  THESE CLOSEOUT ANGLES CANNOT BE SEEN UNLESS THE WING TO FUSELAGE FAIRINGS ARE REMOVED AND THUS ARE NEVER INSPECTED DURING NORMAL MAINTENANCE.
