## Discrepancy

IN SERVICE COLLAPSING OF THE NOSE SECTION OF THE RADOME OCCURRED.  DURING INCOMING INSPECTION IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE AREA OF COLLAPSE CORRESPONDED WITH THE AREA OF A PREVIOUS REPAIR.  THE ACCOMPLISHED REPAIR AND THE MATERIAL USED APPEARS NOT TO BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AIRBUS CMM APPROVED REPAIRS.  REPAIR WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY NAS COMPONENT MAINTENANCE INC. HIALEAH FL CRS #K93R093Y.
