## Discrepancy

DURING A PREFLIGHT, FOUND TIRE PRESSURE TO BE DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY. INVESTIGATION FOUND ONE WHEEL FUSE PLUG TO BE LEAKING. WHEN FUSE WAS REMOVED, THERE APPEARED TO BE A SLIGHT DENT ON THE FACE OF THE FUSE, SIMILAR TO HANDLING DAMAGE. HISTORY SHOWS THIS TO BE AN ORIGINAL FUSE SINCE THE WHEEL WAS NEW.
