## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON THE AIRCRAFT WE HAVE FOUND LOOSE RIVETS ON THE WING SKIN LOWER MAIN PANEL AFT OF THE SPAR AT WING STA 70-00 TO STA 76-00. AFTER A CONTACT WITH A TECH REP AT BEECH AIRCRAFT, WE HAVE REPLACED THE LOOSE RIVETS WITH STANDARD MS20470AD-5 SOLID RIVETS DIPPED IN WET ZINCHROMATE PRIMER AS REQUIRED IN BEECH REPAIRS MANUAL AND RECOMMENDED BY BEECH TECH REP.
