## Discrepancy

CABIN FLOOR SKIN AT THE CABIN ENTRANCE IS TOO THIN AND FLEXIBLE.  THE SKIN FLEXES OVER A BULKHEAD THAT IS CENTERED IN THE ENTRANCEWAY.  A BOARDING PERSON WILL PLACE THERE FEET ON EITHER SIDE OF THIS BULKHEAD.  THIS CONSTANT FLEXING WOULD EVENTUALLY CRACK THE FLANGE OF THE BULKHEAD AND / OR THE FLOOR SKIN.  WORKING WITH TECH REP, WE HAVE INSTALLED A HEAVY SKIN DOUBLER TO PREVENT FLEXING.
