## Discrepancy

DURING A PHASE 1A INSPECTION, THE PROPELLER CONTROL BRACKET LOCATED UNDER THE CENTER PEDESTAL WAS FOUND TO HAVE 2 SHEARED OFF RIVETS.  IN LIEU OF RIVETS IT WAS FOUND THAT 2 C-CLAMPS WERE HOLDING THIS BRACKET IN PLACE.  WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE IS THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST PHASE INSPECTION DONE AT THIS FACILITY.  PRIOR TO THIS THE AIRCRAFT UNDERWENT A FULL PHASE 1 TO 4 INSPECTION AT A BEECHCRAFT REPAIR STATION IMMEDIATELY BEFORE BEING IMPORTED.  PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PICTURES AND DOCUMENTS.
