## Discrepancy

DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION THE BUTT WELDS IN THE LOWER MAIN SPAR REINFORCEMENT STRAP, APPROX 3.25 INCHES IB FROM EACH END OF THE REINFORCEMENT STRAP, DO NOT HAVE PROPER PENETRATION AND ARE CRACKED THRU THE WELD.  MFG WAS CONTACTED AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS WERE PROVIDED.  THE WELDS WERE PROPERLY PREPARED AND REWELDED IAW THE MFG INSTRUCTIONS BY A CERTIFIED WELDING REPAIRMAN.
