## Discrepancy

THE FUSELAGE SKIN AT THE L1 DOOR OPENING WAS FOUND CRACKED AT THE CUTOUT EDGE JUST ABOVE THE LOWER AFT CORNER.  THE CRACKS WERE SMALL AND TYPICAL OF BAC S/B 737-53-1083.  THE CRACKS WERE TRIMMED OUT OF THE SKIN AND REPAIRED WITH EXTERNAL ALUMINUM REPAIR DOUBLERS PER THE BAC S/B AND ER/A 093452-14.
