rudder pedal springs

If one spring breaks, the other will pull the rudder to one side.

Yup. Just as it does in a Cessna 150 or 172 or any one of
dozens of other airplanes. The pilot will notice it, will have to keep
constant pressure on one pedal, and will snag it after he lands if he
has any sense at all. There have been pilots on the RAP group who
complain that the local rental clunker needs constant right or left
pedal pressure to keep the ball anywhere near centered. That airplane
will most likely have a busted spring. Most likely the left spring,
since it's the one that gets stretched the most often and for the
longest time: right rudder on takeoff and climb stretches the left
spring.
