## Discrepancy

DURING A PHASE 1,2,3,4 INSPECTION THE RT AILERON WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED AT THE LEADING EDGE IN THE AREA OF ATTACHMENT POINTS FOR THE WEIGHTS. THE SKIN WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED. HAD SEVERAL CRACKED AILERONS IN OUR OTHER AIRCRAFT BOTH LT AND RT CRACK IN THIS AREA. WE OPERATE A FLEET OF THESE AIRCRAFT AND LOOK AT THIS ON A 300HR. INSPECTION SCH.  THE CRACKS GO AROUND THE SCREW HOLES OR RADIATE OUT FROM THEM.
