## Discrepancy

INSPECTION FOUND SEVERELY WORN RT AND LT UPPER AILERON CABLES RIGHT INSIDE THE WING ROOT WHERE CABLE ROLLS WITH A PULLEY. THERE WAS NO WORN PULLEYS.  CABLE WAS SO BADLY WORN - 6 OF THE 7 BUNDLES OF STRANDS WERE BROKEN.  IT IS IN AN AREA THAT IS HARD TO SEE.  SUBMITTER STATED SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE AILERON CABLES.
