## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHEN STARTING, PILOT NOTICED HE HAD TO MOVE POWER LEVER TO ALMOST HALF THROTTLE TO GET ENGINE STARTED.  IN-FLIGHT, LACK OF POWER WAS NOT EVIDENT.  UPON LANDING, IT WAS DISCOVERED THE BLEED AIR LINE HAD BROKEN COMPLETELY OFF NEAR THE 90 DEGREE FITTING WHERE THE LINE WENT INTO THE COMPRESSOR SECTION OF ENGINE.
