## Discrepancy

WHILE PERFORMING INSPECTION PORTION OF AD PERTAINING TO  THE AFT VERTICAL FIN ATTACHMENT BULKHEAD, ONE CRACK WAS FOUND IN EACH OF LOWER IB PORTIONS OF THE RUDDER CABLE CUTOUTS AT APPROXIMATELY THE 4 O`CLOCK POSITION ON THE LT CUTOUT AND THE 8 O`CLOCK POSITION ON THE RT CUTOUT.  CRACKS WERE EACH APPROX .2500 INCH LONG, ORIGINATING AT THE EDGE OF THE CUTOUT AND TRAVELING IN A DIRECTION PERPENDICULAR TO GANGENT OF RADIUS OF CUTOUT AT POINT OF ORIGIN.  ALL OTHER AREAS OF INSP PRESCRIBED BY AD WERE FOUND TO BE WITHIN LIMITS AND NO OTHER DISCREPANCIES WERE FOUND.  NO OBVIOUS REASON FOR CRACKS IN THIS LOCATION UNLESS POINTS OF CONCENTRATED STRESS CAUSED BY RUDDER DEFLECTION.  (SO09200502375) (SO09200502381) (K)
