## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION, THE JURY STRUT WAS DISCOVERED TO HAVE FRACTURED TRAILING EDGE DUE TO FREEZING WATER BEING TRAPPED INSIDE THE STRUT.  THE SOLUTION WE PERFORMED WAS TO SEAL THE TOP OF THE STRUT WITH SILICONE TO PREVENT WATER FROM GAINING ACCESS TO THE INTERIOR OF THE STRUT ASSEMBLY . ALSO, WE CHECKED TO ENSURE THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE JURY STRUT IS UNOBSTRUCTED TO ALLOW ANY MOISTURE TO DRAIN OUT THE BOTTOM.
