## Discrepancy

PILOT REPORTED LANDING LIGHT CIRCUIT BREAKER KEPT TRIPPING.  UPON INVESTIGATION, FOUND LANDING LIGHT CIRCUIT WAS DRAWING 22 AMPS.  (LANDING LIGHT CIRCUIT BREAKER IS A 20-AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER). FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE TAXI LIGHT HAD BEEN REPLACED WITH A 4313. 250W LAMP.  THE PARTS BOOK CALLS FOR A 4509. 100W LAMP.  INSTALLED CORRECT LAMP.  CIRCUIT DRAWS 10 AMPS.
