## Discrepancy

THE LT MLG PRESSURE LINE RUNNING JUST OVER THE FLIGHT CONTROL CABLES IN THE TAIL CONE SECTION OF THE A/C WAS BEAT DOWN INTO THE PATH OF ONE OF THE CABLES.  AFTER A LIMITED TIME, THE CABLE WORE THROUGH THE HYDAULIC LINE DUMPED THE RESERVOIR INTO THE TAIL CONE.  TO PREVENT RECURRENCE OF THIS INCIDENT, SUBMITTER SUGGESTED THE HYDRAULIC LINE SHOULD BE ROUTED BELOW THE FLIGHT CONTROL CABLES.  (X)
