What was found

(CAN) ONE OF THE TWO VERTICAL TAIL ATTACH BRACKETS WAS DISCOVERED CRACKED APPROXIMATELY 90% OF IT’S LENGTH DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION. THE CRACK LOCATION IS IN THE RADIUS WHERE THE VERTICAL LEG INTERSECTS THE HORIZONTAL LEG. THERE IS A SERVICE LETTER WHICH DEALS WITH THIS, HOWEVER IT DOESN’T APPLY TO THIS SERIAL NUMBER AIRCRAFT. WE ARE REPLACING THE TWO ON THIS AIRCRAFT AS WELL AS ON THE OTHER C152 IN THE FLEET. (TC# 20061016007)
