## Discrepancy

DURING A SCHEDULED INSP ON THIS AIRCRAFT THE OPERATOR REQUESTED THAT WE INSPECT THE AFT CABLES ON THE ELEVATOR TRIM SYSTEM. PRIOR TO REMOVAL WE CHECKED THE CABLE TENSION, FOUND IT TO BE 30 LBS CABLE TENSION SHOULD BE 45 +/-5 LBS AT 75 DEGREES.  INSP AFTER THE CABLE WAS REMOVED REVEALED 1 COMPLETE STRAND BROKE AND SEVERAL WIRES. THE DAMAGED AREA WAS LOCATED DIRECTLY OVER THE PULLEY WHEN THE TAB IS IN THE 2-3 DEGREE DOWN POSITION. THIS IS THE FIFTH ELEVATOR TRIM CABLE THIS REPAIR STATION HAS FOUND DAMAGED ON THIS MODEL AIRCRAFT WITH TOTAL TIME OF 5000 +/-500 HOURS. AN SCR HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO MFR UNDER NR 244926
