## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

DURING APPROACH, THE PILOTS EXPERIENCED INCREASED EFFORT APPLYING RIGHT AILERON AFTER THEY TURNED OFF THE AUTOPILOT. THEY LANDED THE PLANE WITHOUT FURTHER ISSUES. MAINTENANCE FOUND THAT AN AILERON FLIGHT CONTROL CABLE HAD BEEN IMPROPERLY ROUTED/INSTALLED. THE REPAIR STATION RAN THE CABLE ON THE OUTSIDE OF A GUIDE PIN THAT WAS MEANT TO KEEP IT FROM POPPING OFF A PULLEY. AS A RESULT OF THIS, THE CABLE FRAYED DUE TO RUBBING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GUIDE PIN. AFTER THE PLANE LANDED AT QATAR, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SENT MECHANICS OVER AND THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED THE AILERON CABLE. IT HAS BEEN 3 AND 1/2 MONTHS AND THERE HAVE BEEN NO FURTHER ISSUES WITH AILERON CABLE REPAIR. WE ARE INVESTIGATING THE REPAIR STATION THAT ACCOMPLISHED THIS INSTALLATION, AS WELL AS THE OVERSIGHT THAT THE CERTIFICATE HOLDER GAVE, SINCE THIS WAS AN RII MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION ACTION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
