## Discrepancy

DURING A 6000 HOUR INSPECTION, THE LT AND RT WING TIP ASSEMBLIES WERE REMOVED TO FACILITATE FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE AILERON SYSTEM.  AFTER REMOVAL OF THE TIPS THE INSPECTING TECHNICIAN NOTED CRACKS IN BOTH THE LT AND RT AILERON OB ATTACH POINTS.  THE BRACKET WAS REMOVED AND INSPECTED WITH A 10X MAGNIFYING GLASS WHICH CONFIRMED CRACKS IN BOTH THE BRACKETS.  IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL LT AND RT ATTACH BRACKETS BE INSPECTED FOR CRACKS WITH THE WING TIPS REMOVED.  LT BRACKET (PN T700A5760031000) RT BRACKET (PN T700A5760031001)
