## Discrepancy

(CAN)  BRACKET WAS INSPECTED AS PART OF A FLEET CAMPAIGN INITIATED IN-HOUSE. BRACKET WAS FOUND TO HAVE A .7500 INCH CRACK AND A .2500 INCH CRACK FROM THE OUTSIDE EDGES MOVING INWARD.  THE TRIM TAB WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE TRIM TAB.  THE REMOVED BRACKET AND THE MASS BALANCE WEIGHT  HAVE BEEN SENT TO MFG  FOR ANALYSIS.
