## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON THE SCHEDULED AIRFOIL DEICER SYSTEM INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE NORMAL INFLATION SEQUENCE WOULD WORK PROPERLY ONLY 1 TIME OUT OF THREE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE TIMER WAS FUNCTIONING IN AN INTERMITTENT MANNER. DEICER CAUTION LIGHT WOULD COME ON INDICATING SEQUENCE MALFUNCTION. THE TIMER WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE UNIT.
