## Discrepancy

THE FS 178 BULKHEAD WAS DAMAGED FROM GROUND CONTACT WITH THE WING-TIP OF ANOTHER AIRCRAFT.  THE FWD CHORD OF THE LBL 5.7 BEAM WAS SEVERED NEAR WL 180 AND BEAM WEB TORN AT THE SAME LOCATION.  THE CHORD WAS CUT TO REMOVE THE DAMAGE AND  WEB WAS TRIMMED TO REMOVE THE TEAR.  A NEW LOWER SECTION OF CHORD WAS SPLICED IN WITH TWO REPAIR ANGLES AND AN ALUMINUM DOUBLER INSTALLED TO REPAIR THE WEB PER ER/A 377530-14, REV B.
