What was found
INSPECTION OF THE RUDDER PEDAL ASSEMBLY REVEALED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE S TUBE CAUSED BY WEAR FROM THE RUDDER CABLE. THE WEAR WAS DETECTED BY VISUALLY CHECKING THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE S TUBE FOR MATERIAL DEFORMATION IN THE AREA(S) WHERE THE CABLE CAUSES THE MOST FRICTION ON THE INSIDE OF THE TUBE. THE AIRCRAFT RUDDER CABLES WERE DUE FOR REPLACEMENT AS MANDATED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT EACH 3000 HOURS TTSN. THIS DEFECT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED IN PREVIOUS REPORTS FROM THIS COMPANY. BASED ON THE NATURE OF THIS DEFECT WE REPLACED ALL RUDDER PEDAL ASSEMBLIES ALONG WITH THE CABLES AND HAVE AMENDED OUR INTERNAL MAINTENANCE TRACKING TO INSPECT/REPLACE AS NECESSARY THE PEDAL ASSEMBLIES AT 2500 HOUR INTERVALS. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO BE MONITORED.
