## Discrepancy

DURING 2400 HOUR INSPECTION, NDT (FLUORESCENT PENETRATION) PERFORMED ON SWASH-PLATE FIXED ASSEMBLY WHERE INDICATIONS OF CRACKS WERE PRESENT IN THE RECESS WHERE THE DUPLEX BEARING SITS. NDT WAS PERFORMED A SECOND TIME WITH THE INDICATIONS STILL VISIBLE. SWASH-PLATE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO FOR FURTHER EVALUATION TO CONFIRM CRACKS.
