SYNOPSIS
The aircraft was on a routine training flight when the Pilot noticed a persistent smell of fuel. The Pilot landed immediately. Subsequent inspection found that the left pedal rudder control rod had been rubbing against a flexible fuel hose in the cockpit and that the hose had worn through allowing fuel to leak into the cockpit. As a result of this Investigation, the aircraft Manufacturer issued Service Bulletin 1078-152 in order to rectify this problem on all G 115 /G 115A aircraft.
