## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE INSPECTING OF THE THROTTLE LEVER PEDESTAL A GROOVE WAS FOUND TO HAVE BEEN WORN BY RUBBING THE CATCH PLATE. SIMILAR CONDITION FOUND ON BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT CONTROL LEVERS. SUBMITTER STATES THAT BEECH NOW MAKES THE PLATES OF A SOFTER MATERIAL AND RECOMMENDS INSPECTING THIS AREA CLOSELY.
