## Discrepancy

ENROUTE FROM ANC TO SEA, AFTER TAKEOFF THE FLIGHT CREW NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT AIRCRAFT ROLL TO THE LEFT AND REQIURED RUDDUR INPUT. THE FLIGHT RETURNED TO ANC FOR AN UNVENTFUL LANDING. MANITHEANCE INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT WHICH REVEALED A SEGMENT OF THE LEFT WING FLIGHT SPOILER RETRACT CABLE BROKEN. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE CABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MAINTENCE MANUAL. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
