## Discrepancy

DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION, SUBSTANTIAL WEAR WAS FOUND WHERE THE AILERON BALANCE CABLE RUNS THROUGH THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FUSELAGE.  CABLE WEAR WAS PROBABLY CAUSED BY IMPROPER CABLE ALIGNMENT DURING ASSEMBLY BY MFG.  THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS TYPE OF DEFECT FOUND IN OUR FLEET.(K)
