## Discrepancy

(CAN) FLAP SELECTOR CONTROL CABLE WAS FOUND BROKEN AT THE POINT WHERE THE CABLE EXITS THE FUSELAGE AND CONTINUES ON TO THE FLAP SELECTOR.  A SECOND SPOT ON THE CABLE WAS ALSO ALMOST BROKEN THROUGH WHERE THE CABLE RETURNS FROM THE FLAP SELECTOR AND REENTERS THE FUSELAGE.  BOTH AREAS WERE WHERE THE CABLE GOES AROUND A PULLEY AND DOES A 90 DEGREE TURN.  PULLEYS WERE FULLY SERVICEABLE. THIS AREA IS NOT PRONE TO MANY INSPECTIONS AND THIS DEFECT WAS FOUND AS A RESULT OF AN AIR CONDITIONING SNAG. A FLEET CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN INITIATED TO INSPECT OTHER AIRCRAFT.
