## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER AIRCRAFT RECONFIGURATION AT OUR FACILITY, NORMALLY INSTALLED THE RADS EQUIPMENT FOR VIBRATION ANALYSIS ON THE T/R SYSTEM.  NOTICED A SLIGHTLY HIGH VIBRATION LEVEL WHICH  WERE UNABLE TO BRING TO A STANDARD LEVEL. AFTER INVESTIGATION, FOUND OUT THAT ONE OF THE T/R BLADE WAS WATER CONTAMINATED. REPLACED THE T/R BLADE AND THE T/R WAS BALANCE BEYOND, 1 IPS.
