## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT TAIL WHEEL LOCKING / UNLOCKING MECHANISM NOT SATISFACTORY IAW PILOT'S REPORT. ANGLE OF CABLE AT POINT WHERE IT ATTACHES TO THE TAILWHEEL INTRODUCES BINDING. CABLE CLAMP USED DURING MANUFACTURE PINCHES END OF TELEFLEX CABLE AT MOUNTING POINT AND RESTRICTS MOVEMENT OF THE LOCK PIN ASSY. ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE CABLE TO THE TAILWHEEL AS WELL AS IN THE DESIGN OF THE ATTACHING BRACKET ANGLES FOR PROPER CABLE RUN W/O BINDING.
