## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING TEST FLIGHT, THE NR 1 HF ANTENNA SEPARATED AT THE CABLE TENSIONER AFTER TENSIONER FAILURE. THE FREED CABLE WHIPPED AGAINST THE FUSELAGE, DAMAGING 4 CABIN WINDOWS AND DENTING THE FUSELAGE AT 2 PLACES (STA 685 AND 688). THE TURN BARREN SECTION OF THE TENSIONER FLAPPED AGAINST THE NR 4 SPOILER CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE SPOILER.
