## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHEN MOVING THE ACFT, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE LT RUDDER PEDAL WAS SEIZED TO THE SHAFT.  THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK RUNNING ON THE SHAFT AREA OF THE PEDAL.  THERE WAS ALSO A LOT OF CORROSION POSSIBLY CAUSED BY SALT COMING OFF THE BOOTS OF THE PILOT.  THE PEDAL WAS REMOVED & A NEW ONE INSTALLED.
