## Discrepancy

FOUND APPROXIMATELY 8.50 INCH SECTION OF MAIN ROTOR BLADE NICKLE LEADING EDGE STRIP MISSING APPROXIMATELY 48 INCHES FROM THE TIP CAP.  THIS AREA HAD A CRACK IN THE LEADING EDGE AND IT WAS REPAIRED PER THE COMPOSITE REPAIR MANUAL.  SUSPECT DISBONDING UNDER THE STRIP FROM CRACK.  RECOMMEND A BETTER PROCEDURE FOR SEALING CRACKS IN LEADING EDGE ABRASION STRIPS.
