## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING AN UNSCHEDULED INSPECTION A SMALL CRACK WAS FOUND IN THE UPPER FORWARD WING ATTACH FITTING, THE CRACK WAS APPROXIMATELY .0625 OF AN INCH LONG STARTING AT THE TOOLING HOLE HEADING TOWARD THE TUB.  THE AIRCRAFT IS GROUNDED WAITING FOR WING SPAR REPLACEMENT.  THE CRACK IS VERY HARD TO SEE, IF YOU LOOK AT THE 3RD PICTURE, TAKEN THOUGHT A MAGNIFYING GLASS YOU WILL SEE A FINE BLACK LINE LEAVING THE HOLE AT 7 O CLOCK THIS IS THE CRACK.
