## Discrepancy

DURING TAXI FOR TAKEOFF,  PILOT SIDE LEFT RUDDER PEDAL ASSEMBLY LOWER TUBING BROKE, PREVENTING USAGE OF LEFT BRAKE AND RUDDER CONTROL. THE TUBING BROKE AROUND THE WELD BUT THE WELD ITSELF DID NOT BREAK. PRIOR TO EVENT NO VISUAL INDICATION OF FAILURE. NO CRACKS OR OTHER INDICATIONS OF A PENDING TUBING FRACTURE.
