## Discrepancy

FULL DOWN ELEVATOR WAS NOT ACHIEVED DUE TO THE FACT THAT TEMPORARY YOKE ATTACHMENTS WERE IMPEDING THE MOVEMENT OF THE FORWARD TRAVEL OF THE YOKE.  AFTER A THOROUGH INSPECTION OF THE STABALATOR CONTROL SYSTEM IT WAS FOUND THAT THE CLAMP ON ATTACHMENTS WERE IMPEDING THE TRAVEL. OF COURSE THIS CARRY MUCH POTENTIAL DANGER.
