## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE ENG WAS REMOVED AND INSP WAS BEING CARRIED OUT. DURING THE BOROSCOPE INSP OF THE 1 STAGE TURBINE BLADES A DEFECT WAS FOUND, LOCATED ON THE SURFACE COATING SWELLING BUT RATHER APPEARS THAT THE BLADE STRUCTURE IS DEFORMED ON THE PLATFORM OR NEAR THE ROOT. ONE PARTICULAR BLADE PLATFORM CRACKED. WE TRIED TO TAKE A PICTURE BUT THE PICTURES DID NOT COME OUT. THE MO2 AND MO3 WILL BE SENT TO VECTOR FOR REPAIRS.
