## Discrepancy

(CAN) CARRYING OUT AD CF-82-34, WE FOUND A CRACK IN THE LOWER WELD ASSY OF THE AILERON CONTROL COLUMN LOCATED AT THE CUT OUT HOLE FOR THE AILERON CHAIN. CRACK WAS APPROX. 3/16 LONG. COLUMN REMAINED IN PLACE AND RE-INSPECTED EVERY 25 HOURS UNTIL REPAIR / REPLACEMENT IS CARRIED OUT. NOT TO EXCEED 150 FLIGHT HOURS.
