## Discrepancy

ON ENGINE STARTUP, THE PILOT NOTICED A FLICKERING ENGINE CHIP LIGHT, SECONDS LATER THE CHIP LIGHT CAME ON SOLID.  ENGINE WAS SEEN SMOKING AND OIL COMING FROM EXHAUST STACK.  ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AFTER APP 1 MINUTE OF OPERATION.  ENGINE HAS BEEN SENT TO OVERHAUL COMPANY FOR INVESTIGATION AND REPAIR.  ENGINE HAD 91.9 HOURS SINCE OVERHAUL.  ENGINE IS AT THE OVERHAUL COMPANY AT THE MOMENT AND A DETAILED REPORT WILL BE COMING AT A LATER DATE.
