SAIB CE-13-27 relates to "Flight Controls – Frayed Flap Extend Cables". Its main purpose is "to remind owners and operators of any airplane with cable-driven flight controls of the importance of adhering to existing inspection procedures" (emphasis added by me). While it "focuses" on 400 Series Cessnas, it "applies to the entire flight control system on any airplane model with cable driven flight controls". And its report that a pilot was unable to retract a flap after the uncommanded retraction of the other flap due to a broken cable is worth mentioning.
