## Discrepancy

LEFT AND RIGHT FORWARD AILERON CABLES ARE BEING WORN BY THE PULLEY AT WS 70.5.  THE PULLEY AT THIS STATION CARRIES NO LOAD FROM THE CABLE TENSION.  IT APPEARS THAT IN-FLIGHT VIBRATION IS CUTTING THE CABLE IN HALF.  NO PULLEYS HAVE BEEN FOUND FROZEN OR DAMAGED.  OPERATOR HAS FLEET OF 5 AND PROBLEM IS APPARENT IN ALL.
