## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER FLIGHT, THE NR 2 CONDITION LEVER WOULD NOT MOVE TO FEATHER OR CUTOFF, THE ENGINE HAD TO BE SHUTDOWN USING THE T-HANDLE.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE NR 2 TELEFLEX CABLE HAD BECOME UNSCREWED NEAR THE BEARING.  WE WERE UNAWARE THAT THE CABLE COULD BE UNSCREWED AT THIS LOCATION, WHEN THE CABLE IS ASSEMBLED THERE IS NO VISUAL INDICATION THAT THE CABLE CAN BE DISASSEMBLED. THERE ARE NO PROVISIONS FOR THE CABLE TO BE LOCK WIRED AT THIS LOCATION. TIME SINCE NEW UNKNOWN.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND ONE OTHER UNSCREWED CABLE ON THE AIRCRAFT. WE WILL BE INSPECTING OUR FLEET TO ASSURE NO OTHER CABLES ARE LOOSE. (TC NR 20071217004)
