## Discrepancy

DURING ANNUAL INSPECTION, CABLE WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND TO HAVE SEVERAL BROKEN STRANDS.  AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, FOUND THAT FLAP CABLE 169-524074 WAS CONTACTING A SCREW HEAD WHEN THE FLAPS ARE IN THE UP POSITION.  RECOMMEND THAT PROTECTIVE TAPE BE PUT OVER THE SCREW AND TO MONITER FLAP CABLE EVERY 1000 HOURS.
