## Discrepancy

(CAN) A HALF-INCH CRACK WAS NOTED RADIATING FROM THE FLANGE BEND RELIEF CUTOUT NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE LT SIDE OF THE BULKHEAD AT STATION 108 (IMMEDIATELY INSIDE THE BAGGAGE DOOR), JUST ABOVE FLOOR LEVEL.  THIS AREA IS NORMALLY COVERED BY PLASTIC INTERIOR PANELS. IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING A 200-HOUR INSPECTION, WHICH REQUIRES REMOVAL OF INTERIOR PANELS AND UPHOLSTERY.
