## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A 100 HR INSPECTION AN AME WAS PERFORMING A VISUAL INSPECTION ON THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND FOUND AN AREA ON THE RT MOUNT THAT LOOKED SUSPICIOUS. UPON FUTHER INVESTIGATION (LIGHT SANDING) IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WERE CRACKS & HOLES IN 2 AREAS OF THE TUBE 180 DEGREES APART. THIS IS THE 2ND CRACKED ENGINE MOUNT WE HAVE FOUND ON 206 L-3'S.
