## Discrepancy

DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION,  LOOKED INTO NACA DORSAL SCOOP AND FOUND THE LOWER AIR VANE (PN 6512072-12) CRACKED .5000 INCH WITH CRACK STARTING FROM THE CENTER OF (V) CUT MOVING OUTBOARD.  GAINED ACCESS FROM TAIL BAGGAGE AREA AND REMOVED CRACKED VANE.  REMOVED EA 9309 IAW MFG STANDARD PRACTICES, UPON REMOVAL NOTICED THAT THE V CUT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CUT WITH HAND SNIPS AND THERE WAS NO RELIEF HOLE AT BOTTOM OF CUT, ALSO THERE WAS VERY LITTLE EA 9309 SECURING INTO PLACE.  INSTALLED NEW PART AND CLOSED UP AREA.  WILL SEND BAD PART TO MFG FOR EVALUATION.  (SCR NR 91291)(PTRS 7647)
