## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE PILOT NOTICED AFTER AN HOUR OF FLIGHT THAT THE OIL PRESSURE WAS DROPPING. HE PERFORMED A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING ON THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. AFTER INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE, A CRACK WAS FOUND ON THE ENGINE BLOCK BETWEEN NR 1 AND 3 CYLINDERS. THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED AND SENT TO A REPAIR SHOP.
