## Discrepancy

THE PILOT FOUND A 6 INCH FISHER CRACK, 5' FROM BLADE ROOT ON THE TOP SIDE OF MR BLADE, DURING AN AIRWORTHINESS CHECK.  UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THERE WAS ALSO FOUND TO BE SOME DELAMINATION AROUND THE CRACK & FURTHER OUT ABOUT 8' ON TOP OF THE BLADE.  THIS ACFT REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE AT THE TIME OF THIS SUBMISSION AWAITING TRACK & BALANCE, FOLLOWING A REPLACEMENT OF THIS MAIN ROTOR BLADE.
