## Discrepancy

(AUS) DURING TAXI AFTER LANDING, THE AILERON CONTROLS ROLLED LEFT AND DIDN'T ROLL BACK WITH RUDDER INPUT. AILERONS STILL HAD FULL AND FREE MOVEMENT BUT WITH A BIAS OF SLIGHT SPRING PRESSURE TO THE LEFT CONTROL DOWN. INVESTIGATION FOUND THE LH AILERON/RUDDER INTER-CONNECT CABLE HAD BROKEN.
