(26) CONTROL CABLE INSPECTION
Aircraft control cable systems are subject to a variety of environmental conditions and forms
of deterioration that, with time, may be easy to recognize as wire/strand breakage or the not-
so-readily visible types of wear, corrosion, and/or distortion. The following data may help in
detecting the presence of these conditions:
(a) Cable Damage
Critical areas for wire breakage are sections of the cable which pass through fairleads and
around pulleys. To inspect each section which passes over a pulley or through a fairlead,
remove cable from aircraft to the extent necessary to expose that particular section.
Examine cables for broken wires by passing a cloth along length of cable. This will clean
the cable for a visual inspection, and detect broken wires, if the cloth snags on cable.
When snags are found, closely examine cable to determine full extent of damage.
The absence of snags is not positive evidence that broken wires do not exist. Figure 3-22,
View A, shows a cable with broken wires that were not detected by wiping, but were
found during a visual inspection. The damage became readily apparent (View B) when the
cable was removed and bent using the techniques depicted in View C.
