## Discrepancy

THE RT SIDE FUSELAGE SKIN WAS FOUND WITH A DEEP DENT JUST FORWARD OF FS 544 BETWEEN STRINGERS 36R AND 37R BELOW THE SKIN LAP JOINT.

IN ADDITION, TWO SMALL EDGE SECTIONS SIZED 0.50 BY 0.50 OF THE FS 544 FRAME INTERNAL TEAR STRAP REQUIRED CUTOUT AT THE UPPER AND LOWER AFT CORNERS OF THE SKIN CUTOUT.  THE DAMAGE WILL BE REPAIRED PER ER/A 361325-14 'A'.
