## Discrepancy

DURING TRANSIT CHECK, IT WAS DETECTED A HIT ON THE RIGHT INBOARD FLAP NUMBER 3. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL PERFORMED REVISION TO RIGHT FLAP NUMBER 3 IAW SRM 57-53-01, DETECTING A DENT OF 11 LENGTH, 2 WIDE. INSPECTION PERSONNEL EVALUATED THE DAMAGE AND FOUND IT OUT OF LIMITS IAW SRM 57-53-01. AIRCRAFT WAS SENT TO THE HANGAR, THE NRC A0241131 WAS ISSUED TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE DETECTED, RIGHT INBOARD FLAP NUMBER 3 WAS REPLACED IAW AMM 27-81-11, ALL CORRECT.
