## Discrepancy

ON APPROACH, ON FLAIR AIRCRAFT HIT A BIRD.  ONCE ON THE GROUND THE CREW REPORTED TO MAINTENANCE PERSONAL WHO AFTER INSPECTING THE AIRCRAFT FOUND A DENT ON THE RT FLAP BOTTOM SKIN.  DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE DENT WHICH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER SRM.  SUPPORT ENGINEERING WAS CONTACTED AND A ENGINEERING DISPOSITION WAS ISSUED TO RETURN THE AIRCRAFT INTO SERVICE.  AN INSPECTION OF THE AREA IS REQUIRED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 50 HOUR UNTIL REPAIR IS COMPLETED OR ANOTHER FLAP IS INSTALLED.
