## Discrepancy

DURING AN INSPECTION WE FOUND 3 SCREWS ON THE 25 DEGREE FRAME THAT WERE PULLED THROUGH AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE FOUND THE 25 DEGREE FRAME CRACKED ABOUT AN INCH ABOVE THE TOP CO-PILOTS DOOR HINGE. THIS IS CRACKED COMPLETELY THRU ALL THE WAY AROUND. THIS IS ROUGHLY STATION 1550 AND WATERLINE -2035. THIS AIRCRAFT REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE AT THE TIME OF THIS SUBMISSION AWAITING A REPAIR.
