## Discrepancy

AFTER THE AIRCRAFT TOOK THE RUNWAY, THE FIRST OFFICE NOTICED HIS RUDDER PEDALS WOULD  NOT RESPOND.  THE CREW DECIDED TO ABORT THE TAKEOFF AND RETURN TO THE GATE.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE RUDDER PEDAL ADJUSTMENT KNOB STUCK.  MAINTENANCE CLEANED AND ADJUSTED THE RUDDER ADJUSTMENT KNOB IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 27-00-00.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE PERFORMED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
