## Discrepancy

AFTER APPROACH TO INTRACOASTAL, WHILE IN A HOVER, BEGAN RIGHT PEDAL TURN TO TAXI TO THE PAD.  LOOKED AT TORQUE GAUGE BEFORE BEGINNING RIGHT PEDAL TURN. TORQUE WAS 60 PERCENT-70 PERCENT. AS I BEGAN RIGHT PEDAL TURN, CROSS-CHECKED TORQUE GAUGE AND SAW A TORQUE SPIKE, FOLLOWED BY A BANG NOISE.
