## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE COMPLETING AN ANNUAL INSPECTION OF THE ACFT AND INSPECTING THE FLAP SYSTEM GENERAL INSPECTION A CRACK WAS NOTED ON THE LT INBD FLAP DRIVE ARM IN THE WEB RADIUS. THE CRACK WAS CLEARLY VISIBLE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR NDT.  THE DRIVE ARM WAS R & R WITH A NEW PART.  THE RT INBD DRIVE ARM WAS VISUALLY INSPECTED WITH NO CRACKS NOTED.
