What was found
(CAN) DURING THE PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTION, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR NOTICED A COMPLETE DEFLEXION OF THE RUDDER CONTROL (TOWARDS THE RIGHT) WHEN THE NOSEWHEEL WAS CENTERED. AS WELL, THE PEDALS WERE NOT EVEN. DURING MAINTENANCE, NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PART OF THE SPRING WAS UNHOOKED. INSPECTED THE AFFECTED PARTS AND REPLACED THE SPRING, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT BROKEN.
