DURING A 12M/800 HRS INSPECTION, THE PITCH AFU WAS FOUND INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN. THE AMM TASK CARD 27-35-05-900-801 REMOVAL/INSTALLATION OF THE PITCH MAIN AFU INCLUDES A SPECIFIC WARNING TO PREVENT THIS INCORRECT INSTALLATION: THE PITCH MAIN AFU (524CW) IS INSTALLED WITH ITS ADJUSTABLE END-FITTING FACING DOWN. THIS INCORRECT INSTALLATION DOES NOT CAUSE ANY OPERATING PROBLEMS. IT CAUSES A SLIGHT RISK OF INTERFERENCE WITH THE CONTROL ROD BEHIND THE AFU (NO INTERFERENCE NOTED ON THIS AIRCRAFT).
