## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE FOUND THE INLET CRACKED.  THE CRACK WAS LOCATED AT THE INNER SECTION WHERE THE INLET MOUNTS TO THE ENGINE AND WAS ABOUT .25 INCH LONG FROM THE FASTENER HOLE TO THE INLET EDGE.  THE INLET WAS REPAIRED IAW  SRM SECTION 51-00 AND REINSTALLED.
