## Discrepancy

DURING THE ANNUAL INSPECTION, FOUND THE PN 1250938-8, MAGNET LATCH ON THE ALTERNATE AIR DOOR WITH ONE OF ITS STEEL BONDED PLATES LOOSE AND READY TO FALL INTO THE TURBO, COULD CAUSE INFLIGHT FAILURE.  INSTALLED THE NEW IMPROVED CATCH PN C100200.  RECOMMEND MANDITORY REPLACEMENT OF THE OLD TYPE MAGNETIC LATCH IF TT IS ABOVE 1500 HOURS.
