What was found

(CAN) HORIZ STABILIZER WAS REMOVED FOR UNASSOCIATED MX. LT PICK-UP BRACKET WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED ON OTBD FACE. DAMAGE IS SIMILAR TO CRACKS DISCUSSED IN TNS SERIES "B" 55, PARAGRAPH 2.1 WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THIS ACFT IS ALREADY FITTED WITH MOD/627 - MALE FUSELAGE FITTINGS. THE CRACK APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY AN UNDERSIZE BUSHING INSTALLED IN MALE FUSELAGE BRACKET.
