## Discrepancy

RIGHT RUDDER PEDAL ADJUSTMENT CHANNEL THAT CONNECTS COCKPIT RUDDER PEDAL TO RUDDER CABLE WAS FOUND BROKEN AT FWD END OF ADJUSTMENT TRACK, CAUSING THE RT RUDDER CABLE TO BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM RUDDER PEDAL.  APPEARED AS THOUGH RUDDER PEDAL ADJUSTMENT PIN WAS NOT SEATED INTO ONE OF FOUR POSITION ADJUSTMENT HOLES CAUSING A SIDE LOAD ON ADJUSTMENT TRACK DURING USAGE AND SUBSEQUENT FAILURE OF THE PART.
