## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING CRUISE FLIGHT THE SECOND GENERATOR WENT OFF LINE, THE PILOT DID A RESET, THE GENERATOR CAME BACK ONLINE. APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES LATER IT WENT OFF LINE AGAIN. THIS TIME THE PILOT DID NOT TRY TO RESET. ONCE THE AIRCRAFT WAS BACK ON THE GROUND THE PILOT TRYED A RESET ONCE MORE. HOWEVER, WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE GENERATOR BACK ONLINE. THE BRUSH ASSY REPLACED, AND THE GENERATOR IS NOW SERVICEABLE. THIS GENERATOR HAD THE POST SB 24-016 BRUSHES.
