## Discrepancy

DURING FIRST PHASE 1 INSPECTION, FOUND AIRBOX ASSY HAD PIECE MISSING AROUND ALTERNATE AIR DOOR AND THE DOOR HAD A GAP WHERE THE PIECE WAS MISSING. A FILLER MATERIAL WAS USED TO FILL IN ONE EDGE AS THE AIR DOOR HINGE WAS MISALIGNED. THE FILLER MATERIAL BROKE OFF LEAVING A GAP AROUND 1 EDGE OF THE ALTERNATE AIR DOOR CUT-OUT APPROXIMATELY .50 INCH LONG AND THE OTHER .50 INCH OF FILLER MATERIAL WAS CRACKED AND LOOSE.  REPLACED AIRBOX.
