## Discrepancy

THE FIRST WING RIB LOCATED IB OF THE AILERONS WAS FOUND CRACKED ALONG THE RADIUS OF THE ATTACH TAB WHERE THE RIB IS SECURED TO THE AFT SPAR.  THIS AIRCRAFT WAS SUBJECTED TO YEARS OF PREVAILING WINDS QUARTERING AGAINST THE T/E OF THE LT AILERON.  NO GUST LOCKS WERE UTILIZED.  THE RIBS WERE REPAIRED AND THE WINGS RECOVERED.  THE OWNER HAS ERECTED A MORE SUITABLE SHELTER.  (GL11200505059) (K)
