## Discrepancy

WHILE PERFORMING FLIR DOWN POST INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS CORROSION ON THE FLIR UPPER AND LOWER MOUNTS.  ORDERED REPLACEMENT MOUNTS.  REPLACEMENT MOUNTS ARRIVED MINUS THE CADMIUM PLATING.  AFTER SOME DISCUSSION WITH AIRBUS ENGINEERING THE CADMIUM PLATING IS REQUIRED SO THEN AN INVESTIGATION WAS LAUNCHED.
