## Discrepancy

THE VERTICAL STABILIZER STRINGER 9L WAS FOUND CRACKED AT FIN STA 157.2, DURING EXECUTION OF EO 4-59253-12AD.  THIS EO CALLS FOR A REPAIR PER B727 SRM 55-30-4, HOWEVER STR 9L CANNOT BE REPAIRED PER SRM PROCEDURE DUE TO SPACE LIMITATION ON INBOARD FLANGE.  STRINGER WILL BE REPAIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH S/B 727-55 0075R2.
