## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A ROUTINE 100 HRS INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE HYDRAULIC FILTER WAS CONTAMINATED WITH NON-FERROUS METAL SHAVINGS. THE PUMP HOUSING IS MADE OF ALUMINIUM THEREFORE WE SUSPECT THE GEAR ROTORS STARTED TO WEAR THROUGH THE SOFTER HOUSING.THE PUMP WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE AND THE SYSTEM FLUSHED. THE A/C WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
