D. Corrosion
Carefully examine any cable for corrosion that has a broken wire in a section not in contact with
wear producing airframe components such as pulleys, fairleads, etc. It may be necessary to remove
and bend the cable to properly inspect it for internal strand corrosion as this condition is usually not
evident on the outer surface of the cable. Replace cable segments if internal strand rust or
corrosion is found.
Areas especially conducive to cable corrosion are battery compartments, lavatories, wheel wells,
etc., where concentrations of corrosive fumes, vapors, and liquids can accumulate.
NOTE: Check all exposed sections of cable for corrosion after a cleaning and/or metal-brightening
operation has been accomplished in that area.
