## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION, THE RUDDER PEDAL PIVOT HOLES WERE FOUND TO BE ELONGATED.  THE WEAR APPEARS TO BE NORMAL.  THE RUDDER PEDAL ARM WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE ARM AND SAFTIED AND LUBED.  SINCE THE RUDDER PEDAL IS A HIGH USE ASSEMBLY,  A HEAVIER LUBRICATING MEDIUM SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.  A LIGHT GREASE MIGHT PROVIDE BETTER PROTECTION AGAINST WEAR.
