## Discrepancy

ON TAXI OUT AND FLIGHT CONTROL CHECKS AT ATL, AILERONS FELT STIFF WITH VERY LITTLE SPOILER PRESSURE DROP.  THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO RAMP.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE FLIGHT CONTROL CABLES AND FOUND THE LEFT AILERON BUS CABLE BROKEN.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE BROKEN CABLE AND RIGGED THE SYSTEM IAW WITH THE DOUGLAS MAINTENANCE MANUAL 27-10-0.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  (M)
