## Discrepancy

THE RADOME TO FUSELAGE MOUNT AREA AT FS 30.00 HAD TO BE SEALED TO PREVENT PREMATURE RADAR FAILURES DUE TO MOISTURE.  AS THE RADAR TRANSIT/RECEIVER IS HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ANY WATER.  WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM.  THE REST OF FLEET WAS SEALED AND CHECKED PERIODICALLY FOR LEAKS.  A FLEXIBLE BUTYL SEALANT WAS USED.  (X)
