## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT, VENT BLOWER BECAME INOPERATIVE.  TESTED SYSTEM ON GROUND AND FOUND VENT BLOWER ASSEMBLY MOTOR WAS BURNED OUT.  SUSPECT CAUSE IS CONTINUOUS USE OF VENT BLOWER DURING FLIGHT.  RECOMMEND INSTALLING AN INTERMITTENT SWITCH TO SHUT OFF VENT BLOWER WHEN LANDING GEAR IS CYCLED UP.
