## Discrepancy

SUSPECTED THAT CLAMP HOLDING TAILPIPE TO THE REAR OF THE TURBINE WAS INSTALLED IMPROPERLY AND CAME LOOSE CAUSING THE TAILPIPE TO SLIDE BACK 6 INCHES AND ALLOWING HOT TURBINE EXHAUSTS ON NACELLE COWLS AND ENGINE FIRE DETECT LOOP.  THIS CAUSED AN ENGINE FIRE WARNING AND SUBSEQUENT IN-FLIGHT SHUT DOWN ON THE ENGINE.
