## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE LINE CHECK, THE MLG ALTERNATE RELEASE CABLE IN THE COCKPIT WAS FOUND FRAYED. WHEN THE HANDLE FOR THE RELEASE WAS PULLED, THE CABLE BROKE. THE CABLE WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE ASSEMBLY AND ALL FURTHER CHECKS WERE COMPLETED PRIOR TO RETURNING THE AIRCRAFT TO SERVICE.
