## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION, THE OVERMOULDED RUBBER BUMPER ON THE NOSE GEAR RETRACTION
STOP WAS FOUND BROKEN. THE RUBBER WAS SPLIT AT THE POINT OF CONTACT WITH THE RETRACTION
DRAG LINK. THIS AICRAFT HAS HAD THIS PART REPLACED THREE TIMES DURING THE PAST FOURTEEN
MONTHS FOR THE SAME ISSUE.
