A P&M Quik GT450 in a flying school had a partial failure of a lower side rigging cable (Part No. YQD-045) when recovering from a spiral manoeuvre, within the limits of the
flight envelope. These cables are arranged in pairs, to give a backup load path. The second cable carried the load and the aircraft landed safely.
