## Discrepancy

(CAN) NO FUEL COMING OUT THE FUEL CONTROL UNIT. IT HAPPENED ON THE FIRST START ATTEMPT, IN THE MORNING. INTERNAL FAILURE OF FCU SUSPECTED, SINCE ALL FUEL LINES HAVE BEEN BLED FROM AIR. PREVIOUS FLIGHTS HAD NOT REVEALED ANY FLUCTUATIONS OR PARAMETERS PROBLEMS. FCU HAS BEEN REPLACED ON 22 MAY 2003. AND STARTS WERE AS NORMAL AS IT SHOULD. THEN, INTERNAL FCU FAILURE WILL HAVE TO BE INVESTIGATED BY THE OVERHAUL FACILITY OR MANUFACTURER.
