## Discrepancy

DURING MAINTENANCE A CRACK WAS DISCOVERED ON THE LEFT HAND CLOSEOUT RIB (P/N: 5122115-55) AT L.W.S. 106.79. THIS CRACK ORIGINATES FROM A HOLE IN THE FORWARD ROW OF FASTENERS COMMON TO THE AFT MAIN LANDING GEAR TRUNNION SUPPORT PLATE AND TRAVELS VERTICALLY TO A SECOND FASTENER IN THE SAME ROW. THE CRACK IS CONSISTENT WITH OTHERS VISUALLY IDENTIFIED IN THIS SAME AREA. THIS RIB WILL BE REPLACED.
