## Discrepancy

AFTER LANDING THE CREW REPORTED A POSSIBLE LIGHTNING STRIKE ON THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT.  MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AN EN ROUTE LIGHTNING STRIKE INSPECTION AND FOUND EVIDENCE OF LIGHTNING DAMAGE ON THE RT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER TIP FAIRING.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS FERRIED TO DAY WHERE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED A DETAILED LIGHTNING STRIKE INSPECTION.  ALL DAMAGE FOUND WAS REPAIRED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
