## Discrepancy

WHILE CHECKING A DOOR SEAL PROBLEM, THE PAINT WAS FOUND CRACKED ON THE LOWER CABIN DOOR HINGE LEG.  IT WAS FOUND TO BE A CRACK THAT EXTENDS APPROXIMATELY 65 PERCENT IN LENGTH OF LOWER PART LEG.  REMOVED AND INSTALLED NEW HINGE ASSEMBLY.  THE LOWER LEG RECEIVED ALL DOOR OPEN LIMIT LOADS AS DESIGNED.
