## Discrepancy

WHILE CARRYING OUT A 100-HOUR REPETITIVE INSPECTION IAW DGAC AD 94-110, AND SB 70-048-57, IT WAS NOTED THAT ALL 4 FLAP BEARING CARRIAGES WERE CRACKED.  THE CRACKS WERE NOT LOCATED IN THE INSPECTION AREAS SHOWN IN THE SB 70-048-57, BUT WERE LOCATED IN THE WEBS. ALL 4 FLAP BEARING CARRIAGES WERE REPLACED WITH MODIFIED ITEMS BEFORE FURTHER FLIGHT.
