As reported to the FAA. Reports are unverified, and codes are left as the FAA publishes them.

What was found

BOTH OF THE SCOOP (UP AND DOWN), HYD PRESSURE FILTERS WERE FOUND DURING INSP WITH THE ENDS OF THEM BLOWN OUT AND MISSING PIECES. BOTH FILTERS WERE FOUND TO HAVE BEEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY IAW MM AND DWGS. HOWEVER, THIS APPEARS TO BE CONTRADICTORY TO THE INSTRUCTIONS PRINTED ON THE FILTER BODY BY THE FILTER MFG.
