## Discrepancy

INSPECTION OF SIDEWALL STRUCTURE REVEALED FAILED CROSSTIE AT FS 227-125.  THIS STRUCTURAL TIE IS SITUATED BETWEEN THE NR3 AND NR4 RT CABIN WINDOWS VERTICALLY FROM THE LOWER SIDEWALL TO OVERHEAD THE PAX SEAT.  THE PART HAS CRACKED FULLY IN 2 AND IS DEFORMED FROM ITS ORIGINAL "FLAT" SHAPE IN APPARENT COMPRESSION.  (2) RIVETS IMMEDIATELY ABOVE THE BREAK HAVE FAILED.  NO OTHER CROSSTIES DISPLAY ANY DEFORMATION, CRACKING OR EVIDENCE OF PRELOAD.
