## Discrepancy

DURING H-CHECK, FOUND THAT EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO PULL THE INTERIOR HANDLE FROM THE CLIPS AND DROP THE TAILCONE.  ALSO, FOUND THAT THE UPPER LEFT PULLEY WAS MISSING THE RETAINER PIN AND THE CABLE HAD JUMPED THE PULLEY AND WAS UNDAMAGED.  REINSTALLED CABLE AND REPLACED THE PIN.  ADJUSTED THE RELEASE SYSTEM AND HANDLE CLIPS, CHECKED OK.
