What was found
(CAN) DURING REINSTALLATION OF FLOATS, BOTH LT FORWARD STRUT ATTACH FITTINGS WERE NOTED TO HAVE ELONGATED BOLT HOLES. AT CLOSER EXAMINATION YOU COULD SEE THAT THE HOLES WERE NOT WORN ELONGATED BUT THE POUNDING FORCE OF LANDING HAD ACTUALLY DISTORTED THE METAL AND PUSHED IT AWAY. RIGHT SIDE FITTINGS INSPECTED FOR SIMILAR DAMAGE (NO FAULTS FOUND) AND FLOATS INSPECTED FOR OTHER SIGNS OF STRESS. PARTS REPLACED WITH NEW AND AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
