## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION, A .50 INCH CRACK WAS NOTED WHERE THE BRACKET FOR THE FLAP INNER CONNECT ATTACHES ON THE RIGHT OUTBOARD FLAP.  IT APPEARS THE ROD END FOR THE INNER CONNECT WAS LOOSE WHERE IT ATTACHED TO THE BRACKET AND ALLOWED ENOUGH PLAY FOR THE ROD END TO STRIKE THE BASE OF THE BRACKET CAUSING A CRACK.
