## Discrepancy

CHIP LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN-FLIGHT.  SHORTLY THEREAFTER, ENGINE FAILED.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE BEARINGS ON EITHER END OF THE FUEL CONTROL AND OIL PUMP SPUR GEARSHAFT FELL APART STOPPING FUEL CONTROL OPERATION.  EXACT CAUSE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.  UNUSUAL BECAUSE SHAFT IS SUPPORTED ON BOTH ENDS.  SUSPECT ONE BEARING FAILED ALLOWING SHAFT TO WOBBLE AND DESTROY SECOND BEARING.
