## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING THE WALK AROUND PRIOR TO FLIGHT, THE PILOT NOTICED EVIDENCE OF A BIRD STRIKE ON THE RT ENGINE INTAKE.  MX INVESTIGATION REVEALED NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE, HOWEVER, THE INTAKE DEICE BOOT HAD SEVERAL PIN HOLES IN THE AREA OF THE BIRD STRIKE.  IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THE IMPACT OF THE BIRD BEAK MAY HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THE RT LOWER COWL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED.
