## Discrepancy

WHILE IN FLIGHT THE TRANSMISSION CHIP RT CAUTION LIGHT CAME ON.  PILOT WAS ON APPROACH TO LAND AT MO916, ACFT HAD JUST BEEN STARTED AND WAS 2 MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT, APPX SPEED WAS 80 KNOTS AT 400 FT.  AFTER LANDING THE ACFT WAS SHUTDOWN AND MX WAS CONTACTED.  A SMALL AMOUNT OF PASTE WAS FOUND ON THE RT CHIP PLUG, NO METAL.  DRAINED TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED FILTER. PENALTY RAN FOR 1 HOUR, NO FURTHER LIGHTS. RECHECKED RT CHIP PLUG AND FOUND CLEAN.  ACFT RELEASED FOR FURTHER FLIGHT.
