## Discrepancy

THE PILOT REPORTED A CLUTCH LIGHT COMING ON FOR MORE THAN 5 SECONDS, FOLLOWED THE PROCEDURES IN THE POH AND MADE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING. UPON VISUAL INSP IT WAS DEFECTED THAT ONE OF THE DRIVE BELTS IN THE CLUTCH SYS HAD FAILED AND CAUSED THE CLUTCH ACTUATOR TO ENGAGE CAUSING THE CLUTCH LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE.  THERE WERE NO DAMAGES TO THE ROTORCRAFT OR ANY INJURIES TO THE PILOTS. DRIVE BELTS WHERE REPLACED AND THE ROTORCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICED.
