## Discrepancy

DURING INPSECTION OF STA 1183 BULKHEAD PER SPECIAL INSPECTION 4-69150-12, A CRACK WAS DISCOVERED JUST BELOW A STIFFENER AT LBL 30, WL 188 IN THE WEB.  THE CRACK MEASURED 2.5 INCHES.  THE WEB MATERIAL IS .050 2024-T3 CLAD.  THE -12 SPECIAL INSPECTION CALLS FOR THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF EO 4-69150-3 IF A CRACK IS FOUND.  HOWEVER, IN TPA'S CASE, THE A/C IS A LAYOVER A/C ONLY WITH INSUFFICIENT TIME TO FULLY ACCOMPLISH THE PERMANENT REPAIR.  THEREFORE, A TEMPORARY REPAIR WILL BE INSTALLED UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THE PERMANENT REPAIR CAN BE ACCOMPLIHSHED.
