## Discrepancy

AN INSPECTION OF THE LANDING LIGHT CIRCUIT REVEALED THE WIRE FROM THE ENGINE COWL TO THE LIGHT CAME IN CONTACT WITH NR 1 CYLINDER EXHAUST STACK.  THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM.  THERE HAD BEEN A PREVIOUS REPAIR.  THE PROBLEM AREA CAN BE VIEWED THROUGH THE RIGHT COWL FLAP OPENING TO OBSERVE EXHAUST PIPE/WIRE CLEARANCE.
