## Discrepancy

FUSELAGE SKIN FS 344, S-19R TO S-20R - DENT:  A DENT WAS REPORTED APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES BELOW THE LOWER EDGE OF THE UPPER SKIN OF THE LAP SPLICE AT S-19R.  THE DENT MEASURED 2.2 X 1.5 X 0.057 INCH DEEP.   THE SKIN PANEL IS 0.036 INCH SKIN WITH A 0.036 INCH INTERNAL BONDED DOUBLER.  DAL ER/A 384904-14 CUTS OUT THE DENT, WHICH AFFECTS ONLY THE 0.036 INCH SKIN (NOT THE BONDED DOUBLER), AND INSTALLS A 0.040 INCH 2024-T3 CLAD SHEET REPAIR DOUBLER THAT EXTENDS ACROSS THE S-19R LAP SPLICE.
