## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION THE RUDDER QUADRANT DRIVE ASSEMBLY WAS FOUND CRACKED AT THE RUDDER FEEL SPRING ATTACH ARM.  THE FEEL SPRING ATTACH ARM IS ATTACHED IN TWO SECTIONS TO THE RUDDER QUADRANT, ONE SECTION WAS CRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH.  IF THE ATTACH FEEL CONTROL ARM CONTINUED TO CRACK THE REMAINING WAY THROUGH, THIS CONDITON COULD CAUSE LOSS OF YAW CONTROL.
