What was found
DURING THE INITIAL 50 HOUR INSPECTION AT FRAME STATION 282.0 WE FOUND THE RUDDER CABLE SEVERED. PROBABLE CAUSE IS DUE TO INCORRECT ROUTING AT MANUFACTURING. IT APPEARS THAT THE CABLE WAS ROUTED UNDER THE RETAINING PIN ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PULLEY WHICH PUSHED THE CABLE INTO THE FRAME. DUE TO THIS INCORRECT ROUTING IT ALLOWED THE CABLE TO SAW AGAINST THE FRAME, EVENTUALLY SEVERING THE ENTIRE 1/8 FLIGHT CONTROL CABLE. THE FRAME ALSO INCURRED DAMAGE WHICH WILL REQUIRE REPAIR.
