## Discrepancy

YUTE COMMUTER SERVICE AIRCRAFT N7373U HAD AN UNSCHEDULED LANDING ON 1/18/25.  PILOT REPORTED LOSS OF POWER IN FLIGHT AND AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE CAUSING HIM TO DIVERT FROM HIS ORIGINAL DESTINATION.  MECHANICS SENT OUT TO RETRIEVE AIRCRAFT FOUND THAT R/H EXHAUST MUFFLER HAD BROKEN OFF AT ATTACHMENT FLANGE.  MUFFLER WAS REPLACED AND OPS TEST PERFORMED.  NO FURTHER ISSUES WERE FOUND.
