## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON DECENT PILOT FELT A TAP ON THE TAIL ROTOR PEDALS, AND LOOKED INTO HIS SLINGING MIRROR AND DETERMINED THAT THE LT BEAR PAW WAS MISSING.  AFTER LANDING HE NOTICED DAMAGE TO TAIL ROTOR BLADES, AND VERTICLE FIN.  ON INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT A CLAMP THAT WOULD PREVENT THE BEAR PAW FROM SLIPPING OFF WAS MISSING FROM THE INSTALLATION.
