## Discrepancy

DURING OUT GOING INSPECTION FOUND ONE SET SCREW MISSING AND ONE SET SCREW LOOSE ON RIGHT MAIN LANDING GER OUT BOARD SQUAT SWITCH SWING ARM.  PROBABLE CAUSE: THE SCREWS VIBRATED LOOSE.  RECOMMEND THAT AN INSPECTION FOR LANDING GEAR SQUAT SWITCH BE ADDED TO THE 300 HOUR INSPECTION;  ALSO A STEP BE ADDED TO MM TO APPLY LOCTITE TO THE TWO SET SCREWS DURING INSTALLATION.
