What was found

(CAN) DURING C-CHECK, A INSPECTOR FOUND THE AILERON INPUT ROD NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED ON BOTH SIDE LT AND RT AILERON. THE ROD END WAS FABRICATED WITH A CUT OUT FOR AVOID THE CONTACT BETWEEN THE ROD END AND THE QUADRANT SHAFT. ON THE SAME A/C, WE FOUND THE BOTH ROD DIRECTLY IN CONTACT WITH THE SHAFT IN FULL TRAVEL POSITION. ATTACH 2 VERY CLEAR PICTURES WITH THIS FDR. (TC NR 20061218018)
