## Discrepancy

DURING WALKAROUND INSPECTION, A GOUGE WAS FOUND IN THE FUSELAGE SKIN JUST BELOW THE LOWER EDGE OF THE BULK CARGO DOOR OPENING.  GOUGE IS 1.25" LONG BY 0.25" WIDE AND IS DEEP ENOUGH TO CRACK THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE SKIN AT BS 2020, S42R.  CRACK DAMAGE HAS BEEN VERIFIED WITH DYE PENETRANT INSPECTION.  DAMAGE REPAIRED.
