## Discrepancy

DURING A TRAINING FLIGHT, THE FUEL PRESSURE CAUTION LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON THE FUEL PUMP AND PERFORMED A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING.  AFTER SHUTDOWN, FUEL WAS OBSERVED ON THE FUSELAGE.  SUBSEQUENT EXAMINATION BY A MECHANIC REVEALED A LOOSE MAIN FUEL FEED HOSE FITTING AT THE ENGINE FIREWALL SHUT-OFF VALVE UNION.  THE HOSE FITTING WAS THEN TIGHTENED AND SAFETIED PER AIRBUS MAINTENANCE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS BY A COMPANY MECHANIC, AND AN AIRCRAFT/ENGINE GROUND RUN, FOLLOWED BY A FLIGHT, WAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
