## Discrepancy

THE BULKHEAD, BRACKETS, AND DOUBLERS AT STA. 228.3 WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. THIS BULKHEAD IS THE FRONT SUPPORT FOR THE VERTICAL STABILIZER/RUDDER ASSEMBLY. THE CORROSION COVERED AN AREA APPROXIMATE THE SIZE OF THE FRONT RUDDER ATTACHMENT BRACKET THAT IS PART OF THIS BULKHEAD ASSEMBLY. THE CORROSION WAS FOUND DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION AND WAS ONLY VISIBLE, WITHOUT DISASSEMBLY, AS SLIGHT BUBBLING OF THE METAL ON THE BRACKETS FACING REARWARD THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THE AFORE MENTIONED BULKHEAD ASSEMBLY.
