## Discrepancy

RIGHT AFT OUTBOARD LANDING GEAR MOUNT BOLT BROKE. THERE ARE TWO BOLTS THAT HOLD THE OUTBOARD GEAR IN PLACE AND ONE OF THEM BROKE. THE PILOTS CAN NOT SEE THE BOLT IS BROKEN. IF THE BOLT BREAKS RIGHT AFTER THE 100HR THE PLANE COULD MAKE UP TO AROUND 600 LANDING WITH THE BOLT BROKEN ALONG WITH OUTBOARD SECTION NOT SUPPORTED ENOUGH CAUSING OTHER MOUNT BOLT TO BEND.
