## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED INSTRUMENT AIR PRESSURE WAS LOW AT 1700 RPM.  UP ON TROUBLESHOOTING THE MECHANIC NOTICED ON INITIAL RUN UP PRESSURES WERE WITHIN LIMITS, AFTER ENGINE STARTED TO WARM UP THE PRESSURE STARTED TO DROP BELOW LIMITS.  ON INSP THE VANES SHOW SOME WEAR.  INSTALLED NEW PUMP, SYS WORKED NORMAL.  NO PROBABLE CAUSE OR RECOMMENDATIONS AT THIS TIME.
