## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION OF THE COMPRESSOR BLADES, AN INLET HOUSING STRUT ON THE INTAKE WAS FOUND TO HAVE A SMALL CHUNK OF METAL MISSING FROM THE TOP & BOTTOM OF THE STRUT.  THIS CHUNK WAS FOUND MISSING IN THE RADIUS OF THE STRUT.  THIS ENG WAS REMOVED & SENT OUT FOR REPAIR, A SERVICEABLE ENG WAS RECEIVED & INSTALLED. THIS ACFT HAS SINCE RETURNED TO SERVICE AT THE TIME OF THIS SUBMISSION.
