What was found

DURING A NORMAL PERIODIC INSPECTION, WHILE INSPECTING UNDER THE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT FLOOR, THE ELEVATOR BOB WEIGHTS ARE BOLTED TO CRACKS WERE FOUND AROUND THE BOLT HOLES. ITS OUR OPINION THAT THE AREA WHERE THE WEIGHTS ARE BOLTED TO SHOULD BE A THICKER MATERIAL. PARTS WERE REPLACED WITH A NEW ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLED WITH NO PROBLEMS.
