## Discrepancy

(CAN) - INSPECTION REVEALED CRACK AT BOTTOM ANGLE OF AILERON HINGE.  FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED CRACKED REAR SPAR AT HINGE ATTACH POINT AND CRACKED RIB STA 109.  INSPECTION OF RIB AND REAR SPAR IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF LACK OF INSPECTION PANELS. THE INSPECTION CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH A LIGHT AND MIRRORS THROUGH OTHER INSPECTION PANELS.
