## Discrepancy

DURING A C-CK INSP, THE LT WING SKIN AT THE NR 1 SLAT OTBD TRACK CUT-OUT WAS HEAVYILY DAMAGED AND CRACKED DUE TO THE UPPER FWD SLAT ROLLER NOT BEING CAPTURED BY THE ROLLER BOLT.  THE DAMAGED AREA WAS CUT-OUT AND A NEW SKIN SECTION WAS FABRICATED WITH 2024 T-3 0.040 INCH. A SPLICE PLATE WAS FABRICATED FROM 301 1/2 HARD 0.032 INCH AND INSTALLED WITH 2 ROWS OF NAS1097-5 RIVETS. ALL SECTIONS INSTALLED WET WITH PRC 1422 B1/2 AND IDENTIFIED WITH EA.  ITEM RETURNED TO SERVICE.
