## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION AT LT WING ROOT AREA, THE LT NORMAL BRAKE CABLE WAS FOUND RUSTED.  FURTHER INSPECTION SHOWED THAT IN ADDITION TO THE RUST, MULTIPLE STRANDS WERE ALSO BROKEN.  THE REMAINDER OF THE CABLE APPEARED SERVICEABLE, HOWEVER, THIS DAMAGED WAS CONFINED TO APPROXIMATELY A 3" LENGTH.
