## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION FOUND THAT WHEN CONTROL COLUMN IS PULLED BACK AND AILERONS ARE OPERATED, THE BALLANCE CABLE ON CONTROL COLUMNS ARE RUBBING INTO LANDING GEAR UP HYDRAULIC LINE.  LOCATION-UNDER COPILOTS FLOOR PANEL.  PROLONGED USE LIKE THIS CAN CAUSE HYDRAULIC LINE FAILURE AND LOSS OF FLUID.  MUST REFORM HYDRAULIC LINE FOR CLEARANCE.
