What was found

DURING A DAILY AND PREFLIGHT INSPECTION THE RUDDER TRIM AND NOSE STEERING WERE FOUND INOPERATIVE. AT CLOSER INSPECTION THE ROD END (PN 12606311) FOR THE NOSE STEERING BUNGEE HAD FAILED AT THE (PN 12606323) RUDDER TRIM GEAR. THIS EFFECTUALLY DISCONNECTS NOT ONLY RUDDER TRIM BUT NOSE STEERING. IT IS NOT KNOWN IF THE STEERING STOPS WERE EXCEEDED AND THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THIS BEING DONE.
