## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON ENGINE SHUTDOWN THE PILOT PULLED THE MIXTURE CONTROL CABLE TO IDLE CUT OFF.  THE HANDLE OF THE CONTROL CABLE CONTINUED TO COME OUT FARTHER THAN EXPECTED. ACFT WAS SNAGGED.  UPON INSPECTION THE INNER CABLE WAS FOUND TO BE BROKEN INSIDE THE PROTECTIVE SLEEVE. NO OTHER EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE WAS DISCOVERED.  CABLE WAS REPLACED WITH SERVICEABLE UNIT.
