## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING AN OPERATION 3 INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR TIRES HAD BEEN EXPOSED TO A SKID WHICH RENDERED THE TIRES UNSERVICEABLE. AFTER REMOVING THE TIRES THE WHEEL HALVES WERE INSPECTED AND FOUND TO HAVE INTER-GRANULAR/EXFOLIATION CORROSION. THE CORROSION HAD PROGRESSED TO THE POINT WHERE IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE WHEELS. IT WOULD SEEM ODD THAT BOTH WHEELS WOULD DEGRADE IN THE SAME FASHION AT THE SAME TIME, HOWEVER, THEY WERE BOTH FACTORY INSTALLED WHEEL ASSEMBLIES AND AS SUCH WOULD LIKELY HAVE BEEN PRODUCED IN THE SAME BATCH.
