## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON LANDING THE CAPTAIN WENT TO TURN THE AIRCRAFT AROUND TO TAXI BACK TO THE TERMINAL WHEN THE LOWER STEERING CABLE, OPERATING THE DRIVE QUDRANT, SNAPPED. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE CABLE FRAYING THROUGH, AT WHICH POINT IT FINALLY GAVE WAY. THE RESULT WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF NOSE WHEEL STEERING THROUGH THE USE OF THE TILLER WHEEL IN THE COCKPIT. THE CABLE WAS REPLACED AND FURTHER FLIGHTS WERE CARRIED OUT. (TC# 20090702011)
