## Discrepancy

DURING MAINTENANCE INSPECTION THE LEFT WING SKIN WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED AT THE INBOARD SPOILER CENTER HINGE POINT CUTOUT.  MAINTENANCE STOP DRILLED THE CRACK, AND PLACED THE AIRCRAFT ON DMI, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED A TRIPLER REPAIR ON THE AFFECTED AREA OF THE SKIN, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS APPROVED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.
