## Discrepancy

BGR - DURNG A 10 DAY SCHEDULED INSPECTION (LC2), MAINTENANCE FOUND THAT THE RIGHT PRIMARY RUDDER STOP WAS MISSING.  UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE RUDDER SYSTEM, NO FURTHER DEFECTS WERE FOUND.  THE RUDDER STOP WAS REPLACED, ALL CHECKS WERE SATISFACTORY AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  THE OPERATOR HAS PERFORMED AN INSPECTION OF THEIR FLEET AND ADDED A RECURRENT 400 HOUR INSPECTION FOR ALL AIRCRAFT TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE.  (M)
