## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOTS REPORTED THAT THE AILERON CONTROLS WERE STIFF (OAT -20C). INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS CARRIED OUT AND THE AILERON CABLE WAS FOUND TO BE WORN WHERE IT CROSSED A ROLLER FAIRLEAD AT APPROX STN YW189.00. THE ROLLER FAIRLEAD WAS NEARLY SEIZED. THE OB AILERON QUADRANT BEARINGS WERE ALSO FOUND TO BE STIFF WHEN COLD. THE CABLES IN BOTH WINGS WERE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE ROLLER FAIRLEAD. THE BEARINGS WERE REPLACED IN THE AILERON QUADRANTS AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE WITH NO FURTHER DEFECTS. (TC NR 20071206006)
