## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO PLATFORM AS A CONSEQUENCE OF AUTO SPOILERS FAILURES, SHUTTING DOWN THE ENGINES.  THE CONTROL BOX WAS RESEATED, ENGINE ACTUATOR CONNECTOR WAS CHECKED AND OPERATIONAL TESTS WERE PERFORMED IAW MM 27-60-00.  DURING OVERNIGHT SERVICE, ARMED AND AUTO SPOILER SHUTOFF TESTS WERE PERFORMED IAW MM 27-60-00, ALL CORRECT.
