## Discrepancy

(CAN)WHILE CYCLING AILERON CONTROLS FOR INVESTIGATION OF A HYDRAULIC LEAK, THE CAPTAINS CONTROL WHEEL WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE CENTRE POSITION.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE AILERON DOWN CABLE RUN #7 BROKE INSIDE THE CONTROL COLUMN.  AL SO THE AILERON "UP" CABLE RUN #8 WAS FOUND CHAFED.  CABLES REPLACED AND RIGGED AS PER M.M.  27-10-00.  A FLEET CAMPAIGN WAS INITIATED TO INSPECT THE REMAINING DC10'S IN CANADIAN FLEET.
