## Discrepancy

DURING 100-HOUR INSPECTION, FOUND MAIN GEAR ATTACHMENT U-BOLT BROKEN ON ONE END.  UPON REMOVAL OF THE MAIN GEAR LEG, THE REMAINING AN6-15A BOLT ATTACHING THE GEAR WAS FOUND BENT.  SUBMITTER STATED HIGH/TIME FATIGUE IS SUSPECT CAUSE AND A TIME LIMIT ON THIS PART WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY PREVENT RECURRENCE.
