## Discrepancy

(CAN) AS A PRECAUTION ALL SKI BOLTS WERE INSPECTED BY NDT METHOD & 2 BOLTS WERE FOUND CRACKED. SB 2/12 RECOMMENDS TO INSPECT VISUALLY EACH 250 HRS, BOLTS THAT ATTACH TO THE A/F. THERE ARE NO BULLETONS FOR THE SKI BOLTS. RECOMMEND THAT ALL GEAR BOLTS, LEG AND SKI TO LEG SHOULD BE INSPECTED BY NDT ANNUALLY OR ON AN HOURLY BASIS.
