Narrative:
We reported this morning in dayton, oh. After the walk around and all first flight of the day checks were complete, we found no discrepancies with the aircraft. We then proceeded to fly the trip to cleveland. While on the ramp in cle, FAA inspectors did a postflt on our aircraft and found the following discrepancies: boot patch partially delamenated, one rivet head missing from propeller spinner head, and a loose propeller deice gasket. These items were not apparent during preflight and may have occurred during our flight from dayton. Corrective actions were taken to make repairs to the affected items the same day.
