What was found
DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION, A DOUBLER INSTALLED ON A BULKHEAD IN THE EMPENNAGE WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED. THE CRACKED DOUBLER WAS MADE VISIBLE BY REMOVING THE FAIRING BETWEEN THE VERTICAL FIN AND AFT FUSELAGE AND LOOKING AFT AND UP WITH A MIRROR AND FLASHLIGHT. THE DOUBLER, AND THE BULKHEAD IT MOUNTS TO, IS STRUCTURE THAT THE VERTICAL FIN IS MOUNTED TO. THE CRACKS WERE TO EACH SIDE OF 2 RIVETS THAT LOOK AS THOUGH THEY WERE INCORRECTLY SHOT, OVERSHOT OR CLINCHED. THIS BULKHEAD AND DOUBLER WERE INSTALLED AT MANUFACTURE. THIS REPAIR STATION RE-INSPECTED BULKHEADS AND DOUBLERS.
