## Discrepancy

THE FUSELAGE SKIN WAS FOUND CORRODED JUST AFT OF THE STA 480 BUTT SPLICE APPROX BETWEEN STA 482 TO 487, SEVERAL INCHES O/B OF STR 28R.  THE CORRODED SKIN IS LOCATED NEXT TO ONE OF TWO REPAIR DOUBLERS INSTALLED PER E/RA 259873-14.  AFTER THE CORROSION WAS REMOVED, THE SKIN CUTOUT 4 BY 2 WAS APPROX 2 FROM THE EDGE OF THE EXISTING CUTOUT 5 BY 4.  THIS ER/A WILL REMOVE THE FORWARD DOUBLER INSTALLED AND INSTALL A NEW DOUBLER COVERING BOTH AREAS ERA 362507-14.
