## Discrepancy

A CRACK WAS FOUND IN THE LOWER FASTENER OF THE INBOARD CHORD OF THE FS 616 JUST BELOW THE CABIN FLOOR.  THE CRACK IS     SIMILIAR TO THAT OF S/B 737-53-1182.  ADDITIONALLY, A PILOT HOLE FROM THE FACTORY WAS FOUND AT THE LOWER EDGE OF THE SIXTH FASTENER FROM THE BOTTOM.  ERA 334541-14 INSTALLS A REPAIR SIMILIAR TO THAT OF THE S/B.  THE DAMAGE WAS FOUND AT HMV.
