## Discrepancy

SPLINE PORTION OF PIVOT ASSY SHEARED DURING NORMAL OPERATIONAL USE.  RIGHT MAIN GEAR LEG WOULD NOT LOCK DOWN.  PILOT DID A GREAT JOB OF MINIMIZING DAMAGE TO A/C.  RECOMMEND FLUORESCENT PENETRANT INSPECT DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION OF SPLINE SHAFT WHERE IT MEETS THE REST OF THE PIVOT ASSY.
