## Discrepancy

JUST AFTER SHUTDOWN THE PILOT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT, FOLLOWED BY FLAME ABOVE THE COPILOT WINDOW.  THE PILOT EXITED THE COCKPIT AND CONTACTED EMERGENCY SERVICES.  THE PILOT CALLED DISPATCH AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO MAINTENANCE CONTROL.   MAINTENANCE WAS NOTIFIED AND PEFORMED A BORESCOPE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTED THE RIGGING ON THE CONDITION LEVER.  AFTER SEVERAL ENGINE RUNS THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
