## Discrepancy

DURING A 24 MO, 600 FLT HOUR INSPECTION,  RT ELEVATOR UPPER SECTOR CONTROL CABLE HAD BEEN MISROUTED, OVER RATHER THAN BEHIND A GUIDE PIN.  THE CONDITION OF THE CABLE HAD ALREADY BEEN COMPROMISED WITH A FEW STRANDS OF THE .1562 CABLE BEING FRAYED.  IF LEFT UNDETECTED, CONTROL OF THE ACFT COULD BE COMPROMISED.  THIS CONDITION WAS REPORTED  FOR FURTHER ANALYSIS, AND FLEET SAFETY.  A REVIEW TO THE AIRCRAFT`S MAINTENANCE RECORDS REVEALED NO PRIOR WORK IN THIS AREA.
