MX FOUND THE TAILCONE RELEASE CABLE SLEEVE WAS MISSING AND THE CABLE WAS OUT OF ALLOWABLE RIG LIMITS.  THIS DISCREPANCY WAS LOCATED NEAR THE AFT ACCESSORY COMPARTMENT ON THE LEFT SIDE AT STA 1480 TO AFT ENTRY DOOR. THE CABLE WAS REPLACED, ADJUSTED, AND RIGGED BACK INTO SPECIFICATIONS.  THE RII STEPS WERE COMPLETED AND THE FOLLOW-UP CHECK WAS SUCCESSFUL.
