Jammed And Frayed
The control yoke was binding when turned left approximately 45 degrees. Upon inspecting the aileron control system, a screw was found lodged in a pulley groove and the cable (p/n 106-524044-19) was damaged. The aircraft had flown 2.0 hours since its last annual inspection. The screw appeared to be a floor panel screw.
Key Takeaways:
- Multiple aircraft experienced control system issues, including a jammed aileron cable from a foreign object, frayed aileron cables due to pulley wear, and sheared elevator actuator rivets.
- Engine components failed in two instances, with a cracked turbo-exhaust clamp found during inspection and a cracked exhaust valve leading to significant power loss.
- A leaking oil/fuel heater tube with pinholes, possibly caused by Adel clamp chafing, also highlighted component integrity challenges.
