## Discrepancy

THIS WAS THE FRONT WING LIFT STRUT.  WHILE C/W AD 98-10-06 IAW SB 528D, SKETCH 'A', CORROSION WAS FOUND AT 5 INCH-7 INCH, AND 10 INCH-12 INCH FROM THE END OF THE STRUT.  AT 12 INCHES, THIS IS 1 INCH OUTSIDE THE INSPECTION AREA PER SKETCH 'A'.  THE STRUT WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE ONE.
