## Discrepancy

DURING D-CHECK AT SIN, FOUND NR 3 PYLON HAS A WRINKLE CONDITION ON RIGHT SIDE.  SKIN ASSEMBLY WAS TRIMMED TO REMOVE THE WRINKLED AREA.  NDT INSPECTION OF THE REPAIR AREA, INCLUDING HFEC INSPECITON OF SKIN TRIMMED EDGES AND REPAIR FASTENER HOLES WAS PERFORMED TO ENSURE ABSENCE OF CRACKS, CORROSION AND ANY OTHER DAMAGE.  A NEW SKIN REPAIR DOUBLER ASSY WAS INSTALLED FROM FS 286-316.
