## Discrepancy

ON LANDING, CREW OBSERVED THE TOUCHED RUNWAY LIGHT ILLUMINATE.  CREW NOTIFIED MX OF THE ILLUMINATED LIGHT.  GROUND MX CREW INSPECTED THE ACFT AND FOUND DAMAGE TO THE TAIL BUMPER AREA.  ACFT REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  PERFORMED A HARD LANDING INSPECTION, A TOUCHED RUNWAY INSPECTION, AND MADE SKIN REPAIRS TO THE TAIL BUMPER SECTION OF THE ACFT.  ONCE ALL INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS WERE SATISFACTORY THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
