## Discrepancy

THE FWD INBD FLAP SPIGOT BUSHING HAS MIGRATED OUT OF THE, GM141-1152-1, RIB.  THIS HAS CAUSED AN ELONGATION THAT MEASURES .013 IN ONE DIRECTION.  WE HAVE FOUND 2 FLAPS THAT HAVE HAD THIS FAILURE.  IN ADDITION TO THIS UNIT WE HAVE ALSO FOUND AND REPAIRED THE SAME PROBLEM ON BD 700-1A11, SERIAL  9358, FLAP PN GM148-1001-34, SN 00349.   WE HAVE NOW SEEN THIS IN BOTH THE LT AND RT FWD INBD FLAPS.  WE HAVE DETERMINED THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE ON A MAJOR FLIGHT CONTROL AND CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED  WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF AN FAA DER AND SRPSA.
