## Discrepancy

DURING POST FLIGHT INSPECTION, FOUND SHEARED DRIVE CABLE PROTRUDING FROM NR 8 RT OTBD SLAT, AT TRACK 19.  NO FLIGHT CONTROL FAULTS WERE INDICATED IN THE FLIGHT DECK.  PERFORMED RT SLAT NR 8 RETRACT, 84E & 84F IAW AMM 27-80-00-5, CONTROL CABLE INITIAL RIG LOAD.  ALSO CHECKED RT SLAT NR 7 & NR 6 RETRACT CABLES & FOUND TO BE OUT OF LIMITS, BELOW THE REQUIRED TENSION.  REQUIRES FURTHER RIGGING ON OTBD SLAT DRIVE CABLES.
