## Discrepancy

DURING C/W TWIN COMMANDER SB NR 195B, FOUND BOTH AFT RUDDER CABLES TO HAVE NUMEROUS CABLE STRANDS BROKEN.  THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE SB DO NOT ADDRESS THE REMOVAL OR INSPECTION AS OUTLINED IN AC 43.13-1A, CHAPTER 4, PARAGRAPH 198, FIGURE 4.14.  THE SB PROCEDURE IS THE ONLY WAY TO PROPERLY INSPECT THESE CABLES.  HAVE FOUND MANY AIRCRAFT WITH CABLE STRANDS BROKEN BEYOND THE LIMITS IN THE SB WHILE INSPECTING THE CABLES IN THIS MANNER.  SUBMITTER SUGGESTS OWNERS C/W SI-199, WHICH INSTALLS LARGER PULLEYS AT THIS LOCATION.
