## Discrepancy

ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION FOUND RIGHT TURBO CHARGER COMPRESSOR INGESTED PAPER AND JAMMED.  IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PAPER WAS THE INSTRUCTIONS AND APPLICATION CHART FOR THE FILTER.  A CHECK OF A NEW REPLACEMENT DONALDSON (FAA/PMA FOR CESSNA FILTERS) FILTER REVEALED THAT THE INSTRUCTIONS AND A STICKER WERE INSERTED INSIDE THE CANISTER TYPE FILTER.  THE INSTRUCTIONS (FOLDED INTO A QUARTER SHEET) WERE LAYING (MOLDED) ON THE COURSE INSIDE SCREEN OF THE FILTER. IN-STOCK FILTERS SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND INSTRUCTIONS PLACE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FILTER.
