## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING 400 HR INSPECTION OF FLIGHT CONTROL CABLES, WHICH REQUIRES CABLES TO BE INSPECTED THROUGHOUT THEIR ENTIRE LENGTH, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ELEVATOR UP CABLE HAD SEVERAL BROKEN STRANDS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WITHOUT REMOVAL OF THIS CABLE, THE DEFECT MAY HAVE GONE UNNOTICED.
