## Discrepancy

DURING A 100-HOUR INSPECTION, NOTED BLACK STAINS AROUND THE BRACKET WHICH ATTACHES THE OUTBOARD PUSH ROD TO THE RIGHT FLAP.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED A CRACK IN THE NOSE RIB AT STA 112.50.  A NEW PART WAS INSTALLED.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS AGE AND MUCH USE WERE REASONS FOR FAILURE.
