## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION FOUND LT INBOARD AILERON HINGE LOOSE.  CONDITION FOUND BY FEELING A CLUNK WHILE MOVING TRAILING EDGE OF AILERON UP AND DOWN SLOWLY.  TRAILING EDGE OF AILERON HINGE ABLE TO BE MOVED 1/8" UP AND DOWN.  FOUND EVIDENCE OF "TORQUE-SEAL" ON ATTACH BOLT NUTS AND THREADS.  CONTINUED MOVEMENT OF AILERON HINGE COULD POTENTIALLY DAMAGE ATTACH HARDWARE AND CAUSE SEPARATION OF AILERON FROM WING.
