## Discrepancy

OPERATORS (NASJET) DESIGNATOR # N29F20200309001:  WHILE TOWING GULFSTREAM G-IV, N437GA FROM THE RAMP BACK INTO HANGAR, WIND CAUGHT THE UPPER HALF OF THE #1 ENGINE COWL AND SWUNG IT OPEN.

THE #1 ENGINE UPPER COWLING WAS REPAIRED PER AEROSPACE QUALITY RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING REPAIR ORDER ERO-966059 REVISION 2.
