What was found
AFTER TAKEOFF THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE RUDDER HAD TO MUCH PLAY IN FLIGHT. HE LANDED AND TAXIED BACK IN. UPON INSPECTION THE RUDDER CONTROL ROD WAS FOUND TO BE DAMAGED, FROM A WIND STORM THE NIGHT BEFORE. TO PREVENT REOCCURANCE, THE AIRCRAFT RUDDER SHOULD BE LOCKED IN PLACE AFTER EACH FLIGHT.
