## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING 100 HR INSPECTION MAINTENANCE NOTED THE RUDDER PEDALS TO BE OFFSET & THE RUDDER CABLES SLACK.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE RUDDER RETURN SPRING PN 0310196-13 LOCKING CURLED END WAS FOUND SPLIT & BROKEN.  THE RUDDER RETURN SPRING WAS REPLACED, CABLE TENSIONS CHECKED & THE SYSTEM WAS FUNCTION CHECKED SERVICEABLE.  SEE ENCLOSED PICTURE.
