## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING AN INSP, THE UPPER WING SKIN WAS FOUND CRACKED. THE CRACK WAS LOCATED AT THE AFT ATTACHMENT POINT OF THE MAIN FUEL TIP TANK. THE CRACK WAS 3/4 OF AN INCH IN LENGTH JUST FWD OF THE AFT WING SPAR. 2 RIVETS THAT GO THROUGH THE OTBD AILERON ATTACH BRACKET AND AFT WING SPAR WERE ALSO FOUND SHEARED OFF. THIS PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON BOTH LT AND RT WINGS.
