## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION, A .1250 INCH CRACK WAS FOUND IN THE CABIN DOOR FRAME AT THE UPPER FORWARD DRAW BOLT. THROUGH CONTACT WITH MFG AND OTHER LOCAL VENDORS, IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR ASSEMBLY RATHER THAN JUST THE FRAME.   AS THIS CRACK WAS DISCOVERED BY MAINTENANCE CREW DURING A GROUND INSPECTION. THE DOOR WAS REPLACED AND DEFECT RECTIFIED WITHOUT ANY INCIDENT.
