## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING THE 750 HR FLIGHT CONTROL INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT 3 OUT OF 6 HINGE BOLTS HOLDING LEFT ELEVATOR TAB IN PLACE WERE SEVERELY WORN. THE ELEVATOR TAB WAS REMOVED AND INSPECTED.  HARDWARE WAS REPLACED AS REQUIRED.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS IN PROGRESS TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF EARLY DETERIORATION OF WORN PARTS.
