## Discrepancy

DURING CURRENT HMV VISIT IN IND ON N291FE, MAINTENANCE DISCOVERED DENT DAMAGE TO THE SUBJECT NUMBER 3   SLAT TRAILING EDGE WEDGE. THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY HAIL WHILE IN SERVICE. MAINTENANCE   MAPPED ALL THE DENTS ON THE WEDGE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE DAMAGE IS OUTSIDE OF THE ALLOWABLE DAMAGE LIMITS   PER B767-300F SRM 57-43-02-1A DUE TO DISTANCES BETWEEN THE DENTS AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS.S PER B767-300F   SRM 57-43-02-1A DUE TO DISTANCES BETWEEN THE DENTS AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS. NOTE 'K' REQUIRED MINIMUM   DISTANCE OF 1.75 MULTIPLIED BY THE DIAMETER OF THE LARGEST DENT. ALL DENTS HAVE A/Y VALUES OVER 10 AND ALL   DENTS ARE MUCH LESS THAN 0.12-INCH IN DEPTH. THERE WERE A FEW DENTS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN 1-INCH FROM THE EDGE.   ALL DENTS WERE FOUND SMOOTH, FREE FROM SHARP CREASES, GOUGES, OR CRACKS AND NO DISBONDS OR DELAMINATION. ENG CREATED EA H-5750-T03800693 REV B FROM THE FOLLOWING:  THE DATA WAS SENT TO BOEING FOR ANALYSIS. DENT LOCATION #608 WILL BE PERMANENTLY REPAIRED PER SRM 57-43-  02-2R, REPAIR 1 AND SRM 51-70-10. 10 DENTS WILL BE FILLED PER SRM 51-70-01 REQUIREMENTS. REST OF THE DENTS   WERE FOUND TO BE STRUCTURALLY ACCEPTABLE AS-IS WITHOUT REINFORCED REPAIRS. THIS EA ALSO PROVIDES INSTRUCTIONS TO   FILL ALL DENTS THAT ARE DEEPER THAN 0.003 INCH WITH A A/Y < 30 PER 767-300F SRM 51-70-01.
