## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE PRIMARY FUNCTION OF THIS IS TO ADD FRICTION TO THE INERTIA REEL PORTION OF THE SHOULDER HARNESSES. THE RUBBER SHEATH THAT COVERS THE CABLE HAD SEPARATED AT BOTH ENDS OF THE CABLE ASSEMBLY DUE TO THE LACK OF SUPPORT. THE PREVIOUS ASSEMBLIES THAT WERE MANUFACTURED BY EUROCOPTER HAD ADDITIONAL SUPPORT AT THE CABLE ENDS. HOWEVER, DUE TO A CHANGE IN VENDORS THE CABLE NO LONGER IS MANUFACTURED WITH THE ADDED SWAGED ENDS FOR ADDITIONAL  SUPPORT.
