## Discrepancy

AT ANNUAL INSPECTION, FOUND LEFT AND RIGHT STABILIZER HINGE REINFORCEMENTS CRACKED.  LEFT FITTING CRACKED FROM AFT EDGE TO BOLT HOLE AT INBOARD LOWER TAB.  RIGHT FITTING HAD SIMILAR CRACKS IN BOTH LOWER TABS.  NOT SO OBVIOUS WAS A CRACK ALONG 90 PERCENT OF THE LOWER FLANGE BEND RADIUS ON THE RIGHT FITTING.  SUGGEST CAREFUL INSPECTION OF THIS AREA DURING ROUTINE INSPECTIONS ESPECIALLY HIGHER TIME AIRCRAFT.  PART TIS:  5,272 HOURS.
