## Discrepancy

DURING A PRE-FLIGHT WALKAROUND OF THE AIRCRAFT, FOUND THAT THE ATTACH FITTING FOR RH INBOARD MLG DOOR ACTUATOR WAS CRACKED/BROKEN.  FITTING IS STILL ATTACHED TO BOTH THE DOOR AND ACTUATOR. HOWEVER ONLY 2 OUT OF 3 BOLTS NOW SECURE THE DOOR TO THE ACTUATOR, CAUSING A POSSIBLE REDUCTION IN RELIABLILITY OF THE ASSOCIATED COMPONENTS AND SYSTEM.
