## Discrepancy

THE CRACK IS APPROXIMATELY .5000 INCH IN LENGTH, AND STARTS AT THE IB END OF THE SPAR AND IS RUNNING SPAN WISE APPROXIMATELY .1250 INCH BELOW THE IB LOWER FITTING ATTACH HOLE.  WE WILL BE INSPECTING THE REST OF OUR FLEET.  THE AILERON WILL BE REPAIRED PRIOR TO THE AIRCRAFT BEING RETURNED TO SERVICE.
