## Discrepancy

DURING CONDITIONAL INSPECTION AND OPENING UP AIRCRAFT FOR INSPECTION I WAS CHECKING FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT OF FLIGHT CONTROLS AND NOTICED THE LEFT ELEVATOR FELT BOUNCY AND THAT THEIR WAS TO MUCH PLAY IN THE CONTROL COMPARED TO THE RIGHT ELEVATOR. I CONTINUED TO INSPECT. AND OPEN THE PANEL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF RUDDER TO GAIN FURTHER ACCESS ON FOUND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ELEVATOR CONTROL HORN HAD A LARGE CRACK AND MATERIAL MISSING ALSO OBSERVED POSSIBLE SIGNS OF CORROSION INSIDE OF CONTROL HORN.
