What was found

DURING PROGRESSIVE INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT THERE WAS A STRANGE SOUND FROM THE AILERON SYSTEM. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE BEARING FROM THE LT AILERON ASSEMBLY WAS COMING APART. PROBABLE CAUSE IS DESIGN OF AILERON LEVER ASSEMBLY. THE ANGLE AND THE AMOUNT OF USE OF THIS SYSTEM.
