## Discrepancy

AT ANNUAL INSPECTION, THE BLUE PNEUMATIC LINE FOR RT WING DE-ICE BOOTS WAS FOUND COLLAPSED IN THE AREA JUST BELOW THE RT CABIN HEAT VENT LOCATED AFT OF THE CO-PILOT'S SEAT.  THE VENT DUCTING APPEARED TO HAVE BECOME DISCONNECTED AND HAD HEATED THE TUBING ENOUGH TO CAUSE IT TO COLLAPSE.  THE WING DE-ICE SYSTEM WAS STILL OPERATIONAL, BUT THE LINE WAS 90 PERCENT COLLAPSED.  SUGGEST RELOCATION OF LINE SO A MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM DUCTING IS OBTAINED.
