## Discrepancy

AC COMPRESSOR CRACKS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY ENCOUNTERING ACROSS OUR FLEET. THESE CRACKS PRESENT A POTENTIAL FAULT THAT RAISES SERIOUS SAFETY.   WE HAVEN’T EXPERIENCED A FULL SEPARATION YET, GIVEN OUR FLEET SIZE AND OUR OPERATIONS TOTALING OVER 4,000 FLIGHT HOURS PER MONTH, THE ASSOCIATED RISK IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY SIGNIFICANT.   HAVE FIVE AIRCRAFT GROUNDED (AOG) DUE TO COMPRESSOR CRACKS, AND THIS NUMBER MAY GROW AS ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT ARE BROUGHT INTO THE HANGAR FOR INSPECTION.
