## Discrepancy

DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION LOOKED INTO DORSAL NACA SCOOP AND SAW THE LOWER AIR VANE WITH A 1.5 INCH CRACK STARTING FROM THE CENTER OF THE (V) CUT TOWARD THE OB EDGE.  GAINED ACCESS FROM THE TAILCONE BAGGAGE AREA AND REMOVED CRACKED VANE.  UPON REMOVAL NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO RELIEF HOLE WAS INSTALLED AT INTERSECTION OF (V) NOTCH WHICH ALSO APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CUT WITH HAND SNIPS.  RECEIVED NEW PART AND INSTALLED WITH A RELIEF HOLE AT (V) INTERSECTION.  REINSTALLED ITEMS REMOVED FOR ACCESS AND CLOSED UP BAGGAGE AREA.
