## Discrepancy

PILOT BEGAN EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM HE ENCOUNTERED. REMOVING THE PANELS FOR FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE PEDAL ASSEMBLIES. THE PILOT AND MYSELF NOTICED THE CLEAR CIRCUIT BREAKER COVER WASN'T SECURED IN PLACE AND WAS INTERFERING WITH THE PEDAL TRAVEL. IT WAS DETERMINED AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT THAT THE COVER PLATE NOT BEING SECURE WAS THE ISSUE. REINSTALLED COVER PLATE AND INSTALLED TWO MISSING PUSH FASTENERS, OPS CHECKED MOVEMENT OF PEDALS.
