## Discrepancy

DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, THE LT ELEVATOR OB ATTACH HINGE WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED AT WELD.  UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTED THAT WELD WAS IN FACT ONLY A SPOT WELD.  THIS PART IS SUPPOSED TO BE WELDED THE FULL LENGTH OF THE HINGE.  PART APPEARS TO BE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED PART.  (K)
