## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT 3082, DURING LAYOVER IN MSP, A CATERING TRUCK HAD CONTACTED THE AIRCRAFT AFT OF THE L4 DOOR. THE FUSELAGE SKIN SUSTAINED A LARGE PUNCTURE DAMAGE BETWEEN FR 71-72 AND STR 26L  28L AND INCLUDED SOME ADDITIONAL DENTING IN THE LOCAL AREA. THE FUSELAGE SKIN IS P/N D5357112821000. IT IS MADE FROM 0.126 2024-T42 CLAD SHEET AND IS 0.039 AND 0.079 LOCALLY IN THE AREA. THIS ERA WILL REPAIR THE AREA.
