## Discrepancy

WHEN PRESSING THE RUDDER PEDALS DOWN FROM THE LEFT SEAT, THERE IS A PHYSICAL CLICK THAT CAN BE FELT AND AN AUDIBLE CLICK THAT CAN BE HEARD TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE MOVEMENT OF BOTH PEDALS. WHEN PRESSING THE PEDALS DOWN FROM THE RIGHT SEAT, IT IS ONLY THE LEFT RUDDER PEDAL THAT ALSO DISPLAYS THE SAME ISSUE. CORRECTIVE ACTION; FOUND EXCESSIVE PLAY IN BELL CRANK BETWEEN PEDAL LINK AND STEERING SPRING, RETORQUED BOLTS THAT WE COULD BUT FOUND THE BOLT CONNECTING THE BELL CRANK TO THE PEDAL LINK TO STILL HAVE PLAY, REMOVED BELL CRANK AS NEEDED AND FOUND THE BEARINGS TO BE DAMAGED AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED.
