## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON COMPLETING INSPECTION OF RUDDER STOPS PER AD CF-2000-20, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE RUDDER STOPS WERE BOTH MISSING. THERE WERE NO HOLES IN THE TAILCONE SKIN WHERE THE STOPS SHOULD HAVE BEEN, BUT THE ANCHOR NUTS WERE RIVETS TO THE BULKHEAD. THIS SKIN WAS REPLACED (ACCORDING TO A WORK REPORT FOUND IN THE LOGBOOK) IN 1978 WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS IN MAJOR REPAIRED.OBVIOUSLY, THIS AIRCRAFT WAS FLOWN WITHOUT RUDDER STOPS FOR SOME 24 YEARS AND 1365 HOURS.
