## Discrepancy

THE LEFT MLG OUTER WHEEL HALF FAILED AFTER LANDING ROLL-OUT AT THE RUNWAY TURN OFF.  THE WHEEL HALF BLEW OFF, HIT THE ASPHALT AND BOUNCED UP INTO THE RT NACELLE CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE.

SUBMMITTER RECOMMENDED STRIPPING PAINT AND DYE CHECK FOR EDDY CURRENT CHECK FOR CRACKS.  CYCLES, 8,394.
