## Discrepancy

(CAN) BLEED VALVE STUCK CLOSED IN-FLIGHT - COCKPIT INDICATION. EVEN AFTER SHUTDOWN,  THE ENGINEER NOTICED IT WAS STILL IN THE CLOSED POSITION. THE ENGINEER PROCEEDED TO START REMOVING THIS  BLEED VALVE, WHEN HE HEARD A CLICK AND NOTICED THE BLEED VALVE HAD OPENED.  A BENCH TEST WAS SATISFACTORY AFTER IT HAD COOLED DOWN.  THIS BLEED VALVE WAS REPLACED, REASON:  STICKS CLOSED WHEN HOT.  PREVIOUS CERTIFICATION:  ACRO 87250 - REPAIRED.
