## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE PILOT WAS ON THE GROUND AT FLIGHT IDLE AND ACCELERATED THE RPM TO NR RPM 100 PERCENT.  THE RPM REACHED 108 PERCENT FOR 1 TO 3 SECONDS.  THE PILOT TRIED TO BEEP THE RPM DOWN BUT NO RESPONSE.  THE PILOT BROUGHT THE THROTTLE DOWN TO FLIGHT IDLE. THE PILOT DID A NORMAL SHUTDOWN OF ENGINE.  AN ENGINEER WAS CALLED DUE TO A GOVERNOR FAILURE. REPLACED GOVERNOR, DEFECT WAS RECTIFIED.
