## Discrepancy

DURING TAXI (AFTER HARDWIND DURING THE DAY WITH THE AIRCRAFT PARKED WITH TAIL TO THE WIND), AT THE END OF THE DAY THE PILOT HAD NO CONTROL ON PEDALS FOR TAXIING.  THE PILOT SIDE RT PEDAL WAS JAMMED IN PLACE.  AFTER EVALUATION OF PROBLEM, FOUND A BROKEN ROD END FROM ROD ASSEMBLY 0743608-2 ON SKIN UNDER FLOOR, PILOT SIDE RT PEDAL ATTACHMENT TO RUDDER CABLE AND STEERING CONTROL BELLCRANK.  THE BROKEN ROD WAS FOUND STOCKED BETWEEN RIB AND PEDAL.
