## Discrepancy

ALL FOUR AILERON PRIMARY CONTROL CABLES FOUND WORN, SEVERING SEVERAL STRANDS AT WING STATION 50.021 WHERE IS PASSES IN FRONT OF THE OUTBOARD FLAP BELLCRANK. ONE CABLE HAD 3 OF THE 7 STRANDS SEVERED. CABLES WERE COVERED WITH GREASE AND GRIME MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO INSPECT CABLE.  CLEARANCE IS MINIMAL AT THIS POINT AND THE CABLES HAVE LIMITED SUPPORT TO PREVENT SLAPPING AGAINST BELLCRANK.
