## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED AIRFRAME VIBRATION.  ACFT LANDED AT THE CLOSEST AIRPORT WITHOUT INCIDENT.  A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE RT COWLING SHOWED THAT THE FWD OTBD 2 LATCHES WERE UNLATCHED AND THE AFT OTBD LATCH WAS SECURED.  THE UPPER AND LOWER COWLING SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.  CAUSE WAS A FAILURE TO SECURE THE TWO FWD LATCHES AFTER CHECKING ENGINE OIL.  PROCEDURES FOR ENSUING A THOROUGH PREFLIGHT INSPECTION SHOULD BE REINFORCED AND ALL PERSONNEL SHOULD FOLLOW A COMPLETE PREFLIGHT INSPECTION AFTER THE ACFT HAS BEEN DISTURBED FOR ANY REASON PRIOR TO FLIGHT.
