BEECH 95B55 - Rudder Pedal Cracked

During a flight control operational check during scheduled maintenance, the L/H rudder pedal PN 505243263 fractured at its attachment point. Oblong wear was discovered in the attachment area. The wear was not easily noticed due to design and attachment to the brake master cylinder. Therefore removal of attaching hardware securing the pedal was required to inspect for any additional wear. A subsequent inspection of the remaining company Beech 95B55 aircraft revealed similar defects.
