## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A DAILY INSPECTION THE PILOT NOTICED A DENT ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE NOTED T/R BLADE. UPON INSPECTION THE DAMAGE WAS MEASURED AND FOUND TO BE IN LIMITS. FURTHER TO THE INVESTIGATION IT WAS FOUND THAT A SCREW HAD COME LOOSE FROM THE GEARBOX FAIRING INTO THE T/R BLADE PATH. NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS NOTED.
