## Discrepancy

(CAN) BOTH LANDING GEAR ACTUATOR SUPPORT FITTINGS FOUND CRACKED. BOTH FITTINGS ARE POST-MOD 8/1830 AND 8/2049 IN ACCORDANCE WITH BRAD SB 8-54-27 AND 8-54-34 RESPECTIVELY AS MANDATED BY AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE CF-91-25. CRACKS FOUND IN SAME AREA AS PER THE PRE-AD CRACKING. CRACKS WERE ONLY DETECTED BY MAGNETIC PARTICLE INSPECTION WHICH WAS CARRIED OUT ONLY AS A PRECAUTION. IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT A NEW FITTING OF IMPROVED MANUFACTURE PER MOD 8/2075 IS AVAILABLE, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT BEING INTRODUCED IN THE FIELD PER THE SB.
