## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION THE RT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER AUX FIN WAS LOOSE. UPON INVESTIGATION BY MAINTENANCE STAFF IT WAS NOTED THAT THE FORWARD AUX FIN ATTACH PLATE WAS COMPLTELY CRACKED THROUGH AND THE REAR ATTACH PLATE WAS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RADIUS. THE CRACK LENGTHS ON THE REAR PLATE WERE APPROXIMATELY 1INCH AND .3125 INCH IN LENGTH. THE TOTAL WIDTH OF THE PLATE IN THE AREA IS 1.75 INCHES.  THE PARTS WILL BE REPLACED PRIOR TO THE AIRCRAFT RETURNING TO SERVICE.
