## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMBOUT, AN ECAM MESSAGE "VENT SKIN VALVE FAULT", ACFT RETURNED TO DEPARTURE.  AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING AT DEPARTURE, MX PERFORMED FAULT ANALYSIS IAW TSM 21-26-00-810-804-A AND DETERMINED THAT THE CAUSE OF SUCH FAILURE IS THE SKIN AIR OULTLET VALVE.  THE VALVE WAS R & R IAW AMM 21-26-53 PB401 AND PERFORMED THE OPS TEST OF THE AVIONICS VENTILATION SYS WITH NORMAL RESULTS.  AFTER THOSE MX ACTIONS THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
