What was found

DURING A ROUTINE 100-HOUR INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL FOUND THE RT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER FORWARD ATTACHMENT BRACKET FRACTURED NEAR THE BOLT HOLE WHICH ATTACHES THE STABILIZER FORWARD SPAR TO THE AFT TAIL CONE BULKHEAD. THE TAIL CONE BULKHEAD WAS ALSO FOUND CRACKED ADJACENT TO THE BRACKET. THIS FAILURE MAY HAVE RESULTED FROM PRE-LOAD DURING INITIAL ASSEMBLY.
