## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION OF THE RT ELEVATOR, A CRACK LINE IN THE PAINT ALONG A HORIZONTAL PLANE ABOVE THE LOWER LUG, WAS DISCOVERED.  UPON FURTHER REMOVAL OF THE PAINT, IT WAS CONFIRMED THROUGH VISUAL MEANS, THAT THERE WAS DEFINITELY A CRACK. THE PART WAS THEN REMOVED AND THE CRACK WAS FOUND TO BE 90 PERCENT ACROSS THE PART.
