## Discrepancy

DURING ALTIMETER AND PITOT STATIC SYSTEM RE-CERTIFICATION, THE TECH OBSERVED THAT THE LT PITOT TUBE WAS INCORRECT AND WAS ACTUALLY A RT PITOT TUBE.  UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THE PN WAS MIS-IDENTIFIED AS A LT PITOT TUBE PN PH502-3 WHEN ACTUALLY THE DRAIN HOLE AND IMBOSSED "TOP" MARK WERE CONSISTENT WITH A RT PITOT TUBE PN PH502-5. THESE PARTS ARE ALSO SOLD UNDER THE PN 50-384040-3 (LT) AND 50-384040-5 (RT).
