## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER FINDING THE RT MAIN GEAR BRACE CRACKED WE INSPECTED THE LT GEAR AND FOUND A SMALL CRACK AT THE UPPER END OF THE RADIUS OF THE UPPER TORQUE KNEEBOSS. LIQUID PENETRANT WAS REQUIRED TO CONFIRM THE CRACK. IT STARTED AT THE TOP OF RADIUS AND TRAVELED DOWNWARDS ABOUT 1.5 INCHES.
