## Discrepancy

DURING A ROUTINE "B" CHECK INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE FOUND LT FLAP SUPPORT FITTING CRACKED AT STATION 219. AS MORE INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE IT WILL BE PROVIDED. MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED L/H FLAP OUTBOARD SECTION PER ALL APPLICABLE MANUALS. OPERATIONAL CHECK GOOD. AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
