## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT, THE ENGINE EMITTED TWO LOUD NOISES ACCOMPANIED BY A CHIP DETECTOR WARNING INDICATION.  TWO MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE FLAMED OUT ON APPROACH.  INSPECTION REVEALED INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE, FRACTURE OF AN ENGINE CASE AND RELEASE OF A SEGMENT OF AN ACCESSORY DRIVE GEAR.  PWC WILL INVESTIGATE THE EVENT AND WILL ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE ESTABLISHED.
