## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO PLATFORM DURING TAXING AND FLIGHT CONTROL TESTS, THE LT RUDDER PEDAL STUCK WITH THE CENTRAL COVER. DURING CHECK OF THE LOWER RUDDER PEDAL COVER HAD A CRACK OF 3 INCHES LONG IAW MGMYPTA 10-24-1, SO IT WAS PROVISIONALLY REPAIRED WITH TAPE. DURING OVERNIGHT CHECK, THE LOWER RUDDER PEDAL COVER WAS REPAIRED IAW SRM 51-70-00 AND THE RUDDER STEERING  OPERATIONAL TESTS WERE PERFORMED IAW MM 27-20-00 AND MM 32-50-00, ALL CORRECT.
