## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING LANDING FLARE, THE YOKE SNAPPED RESULTING IN A GO AROUND.  AFTER INITIAL INSPECTION, YOKE WAS FOUND CRACKED COMPLETELY THROUGH ON UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER.  YOKE MATERIAL APPEARS TO MANUFACTURED FROM PLASTIC, SUGGEST REMOVAL OF ALL PLASTIC YOKES FROM SERVICE AND REPLACE WITH THOSE MADE FROM ALUMINUM.
