## Discrepancy

DURING THE STRUCTURAL INSPECTION, DAMAGE CAUSED BY A LIGHTNING STRIKE WAS FOUND ON THE EXTERNAL SKIN OF THE CENTER FUSELAGE I, AT FR24 + 327MM, STR-27LH + 8MM. AFTER PERFORMING A LIGHT BLEND-OUT, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IN A POINT, THE DAMAGE EXCEEDED 50% OF THE SKIN THICKNESS. THE AFFECTED AREA WAS REMOVED BY DRILLING A 2.38MM HOLE THROUGH THE SKIN ONLY. THIS CONDITION REPORTED WAS REPAIRED IAW ETD2026-190-001780 DTD FEB 03 2026 AND DOCUMENTED UNDER COOPESA EOCOO-EO-2026-23843-R00. JOB A1Q328 ITEN 21-5
