Part: FITTING — SCRATCHED (LT WING)
LEFT WING LOWER FORWARD INBOARD WING BOLT ATTACH FITTING (PN 50-120073-7) WAS DISCOVERED TO HAVE 3 SMALL SCRATCHES DURING A REPETITIVE INSPECTION OF AD. THE SCRATCHES WERE LOCATED ON THE ATTACH BOLT WASHER SEARING FACE RADIUS IN AN AXIAL DIRECTION AND WERE APPROXIMATELY .001 INCH DEEP. IT IS BELIEVED THAT PREVIOUS IMPROPER CLEANING TOOLS OR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES MAY HAVE CAUSED THE SCRATCHING. THE DAMAGED PART WAS BLENDED AND REINSPECTED IAW FR.

Part: POWER SUPPLY — FAILED (CABIN)
TUL - AIRCRAFT DEPARTED AND HAD JUST LEVELED OUT OF 14,500 FEET WHEN SMOKE WAS DISCOVERED IN THE CABIN. SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE RIGHT WINDOW FRAME NEAR SEAT NR 6. THE PILOT RETURNED TO TVL. WELL BEFORE LANDING, THE SMOKE HAD QUIT AND CLEARED OUT OF THE CABIN. INVESTIGATION OF AIRCRAFT AT TVL BY SKY TREK AVIATION TECHNICIANS DETERMINED THE POWER SUPPLY FOR THE FLUORESCENT LAMP HAD FAILED. THIS CAUSED THE LAMP RESISTOR TO BE VERY HOT AND THE INSULATION SURROUNDING THE RESISTOR HAD MELTED. NO OTHER DISCREPANCIES WERE NOTED AT THIS TIME.
Part: BELLCRANK — MISDRILLED (ELEVATOR)
FIRST PHASE INSPECTION FOUND SLACK IN HORIZONTAL CONTROL. LOCATED PLACE OF LOOSE CONNECTION FORWARD ELEVATOR BELLCRANK TO PUSH/PULL TUBE WAS MISDRILLED TO .3125 INCH; SUPPOSED TO BE .25 INCH.
