## Discrepancy

FLIGHT 4471 BED-TTN JUST AFTER TAKE-OFF, DURING CLIMB THE RT TAILPIPE HOT LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE CREW REDUCED POWER 20-30 PERCENT AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT 2 MINUTES LATER.  AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE WITH THE POWER STILL REDUCED, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN WENT BACK OUT.  WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE HEAVY RAIN.  THE A/C TURNED AROUND AND RETURNED TO BED.  A/C TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE 4-11-03.
