## Discrepancy

PILOT COMPLAINED OF INCONSISTENT RUDDER TRIM INPUTS TO MAINTAIN COORDINATED FLIGHT AND 'FUNNY' RUDDER CONTROL INPUTS.  INSPECTION REVEALED BOTH CENTER RUDDER BAR SUPPORTS CRACKED ALLOWING RUDDER BAR TO WANDER WHEREVER IT WANTED TO GO. AIRCRAFT HAS HISTORY OF LANDING ACCIDENTS WHEN REGISTERED IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY, BUT THIS IS A NEW DISCREPANCY WITH NO PREVIOUS CONTROL SYSTEM PROBLEMS.
