## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT 3354, UPON ARRIVAL IN FCO, MTC NOTED A DENT WITH SCRATCH DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE SKIN. UPON INSPECTING THE DAMAGED AREA IN DTW PER SECTION II OF ER/A 611839-14 REVISION ORIGINAL, MTC NOTED THAT THE DENTED AREA HAD A GOUGE WHICH NEEDED TO BE REWORKED. UPON BLENDING THE AFFECTED AREA PER SRM AND PERFORMING HFEC INSPECTION, MTC NOTED NO CRACKS.

PERFORM AN INTERNAL DETAILED VISUAL INSPECTION TO SKIN AND INTERNAL STRUCTURE PER A330 NTM 51-90-00 TO CONFIRM THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE OR DEFORMATION. ACCOMPLISH A HFEC INSPECTION OF STGR30RH AT AND AROUND DAMAGED AREA PER A330 NTM 51-10-08 TO CONFIRM THERE ARE NO CRACKS. PERFORM A ROTO-PROBE INSPECTION AT ALL OPEN HOLES IN THE REPAIR AREA PER A330 NTM 51-10-01 TO VERIFY NO CRACKS. PERFORM A HFEC INSPECTION OF THE CUT EDGES PER A330 NTM 51-10-08 TO CONFIRM THERE ARE NO CRACKS. ACCOMPLISH REPAIR PER A330 SRM TASK 53-41-11-300-015 WITH THE PROVISION THAT THE SUBJECT REPAIR IS ACCEPTABLE FOR AIRCRAFT WV058. (LP 9985926)
