## Discrepancy

FLAP SN SC279 WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE FOR LOOSE ATTACHMENT INSERTS ON THE IB END RIB.  THE FLAP ATTACH CARRIAGE WAS DISCOVERED LOOSE DURING A ROUTINE DAILY PPOST FLIGHT INSPECTION, WHERE PLAY WAS NOTED BETWEEN THE FLAP ATTACH CARRIAGE AND THE IB FLAP END RIB.  IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT ALL OPERATORS SHOULD PERFORM AN INSP IN FLAP ATTACH AREA BEFORE OPERATING AC.  (K)
