## Discrepancy

DURING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION, AFTER REMOVAL OF THE RT MAIN GEAR TO FUSELAGE FAIRING FOR INSPECTION, FOUND THE GEAR ATTACHMENT OUTBOARD FITTING CRACKED. THE CRACK WAS IN THE WEB OR BODY OF THE PART AND NOT EMANATING FROM AN EDGE. REQUIRED MAGNIFICATION TO CONFIRM. REPLACEMENT OF FITTING IS REQUIRED.
