## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING ROUTINE MX A SPECIAL INSP OF FLOTATION VALVE (PN BA690-95100-1, IPC 21-32-02, FIG 1-5) WAS CALLED UP IAW TASK RJ9-21-32-02-DVI-801-FCD.  HINGE FOR FLOATATION VALVE WAS FOUND CRACKED DURING THIS INSP.  HINGE WAS REPLACED IAW TASK RJ9-21-32-02-RP-801-0.  THIS SPECIAL INSP WAS CALLED UP DUE TO  FLOATATION VALVE HAVING FALLEN COMPLETELY OFF ON ANOTHER ACFT IN FLEET. ALL THE FLEET HAVE NOW BEEN INSPECTED AND THIS IS THE ONLY OTHER OCCURRENCE OF A DAMAGED FLOATATION VALVE FOUND AT THIS TIME.
