## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION ON THIS AIRCRAFT, AEC SL WAS BEING COMPLIED WITH.  THIS LETTER HAS LOOKING FOR OUT OF ROUND HOLE CONDITION ON THE YAW CONTROL LOAD COMPENSATOR LEVER.  THE ARM ONLY MOVES APPROXIMATELY .30 DEGREES.  WHEN THE CONTROL WAS REMOVED, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BEARING HAD FROZEN.  IT STILL MOVED IN ITS .30 DEGREE RANGE BUT THE REST OF THE BEARING WAS FROZEN AND ROUGH.
