## Discrepancy

(CAN) PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT FOLLOWING MFG Q400 AOM NR 122 MANY AILERON AND SPOILER CONTROL CABLES WERE FOUND WORN TO OR CLOSE TO LIMIT ON OUR A/C WITH ONLY 2038HRS AND 2858 CYCLES SINCE MFG.  SIMILAR FINDING WERE FOUND ON OUR OTHER Q400 S/N 4004 (1610 HRS AND 2100 CYCLES). THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2 A/C WAS THAT 4003 CABLES FOUND DIRTY BUT TENSION OK AND 4004 TENSION LOWER THAN SPECIFIED IN THE AMM BUT CABLES WERE CLEAN.
