## Discrepancy

WHILE PILOT WAS FLYING ON TOUR FLIGHT, NOTICED THAT TAIL ROTOR CONTROL PEDAL STUCK.  PILOT MADE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING.  INSPECTED AIRCRAFT, FOUND THAT TAIL ROTOR CABLE WAS BINDING .  REMOVED AND REPLACED  TAIL ROTOR CABLE.  COMPLIED WITH OPERATIONAL CHECK AND FUNCTIONALLY CHECKED GOOD.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
