## Discrepancy

PREFLIGHT INSPECTION FOUND LANDING GEAR PIVOT PIN BACKED OUT OF TRUNION DUE TO SLOTTED PIN BEING SHEARED.  SAFETY WIRE USED TO RETAIN PIN WAS ALSO SHEARED BUT DUE TO ITS LENGTH AND DIAMETER.  IT STAYED IN THE TRUNION GIVING THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS SECURE.  LT MAIN LANDING GEAR FORWARD PIVOT PIN.
