## Discrepancy

(CAN) BOLTS THAT HOLD GUST LOCK RUBBER BUMPERS FOUND SEVERELY RUSTED. FAILURE OF THIS BOLT COULD CAUSE THE SPRING LOADED GUST LOCK PIN TO EXTEND LOCKING UP THE ELEVATORS. OPERATOR HAD FOUND THIS SAME PROBLEM A FEW DAYS PREVIOUS ON ANOTHER AIRCRAFT. FLEET CHECK HAS FOUND 7 CASES SO FAR.
