## Discrepancy

(CAN) AIRCRAFT IN-FLIGHT WHEN ELEVATOR TRIM JAMMED.  NO DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED.  INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE ELEVATOR TRIM CABLE HAD JUMPED OFF THE DRUM OF THE COCKPIT CONTROL QUADRANT.  ICE MAY HAVE BEEN A FACTOR CAUSING TRIM TO BE STIFF.  WHEN OPERATED THIS WAY, ONE CABLE TIGHTENS WHILE THE OTHER LOOSENS.  CABLE GUARD NOT INSTALLED PER IPC.
