## Discrepancy

DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION, NOTICED TAIL TIE-DOWN HOOK BROKEN AND SKIN CRUSHED IN THE SAME AREA.  THIS CONDITION WAS CAUSED DURING LOADING FREIGHT AND ACFT FALLING ON TAIL.  THE CRUSHED REAR BULKHEAD CONTAINS A LIGHTENING HOLE FOR THE ELEVATOR BELLCRANK AND PUSH/PULL TUBE.  SLIGHTLY MORE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE INTERFERRED WITH ELEVATOR TRAVEL.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS OPERATOR NOTIFICATION AND POSSIBLE PLACARD IN THIS AREA.
