## Discrepancy

(CAN) 15 MINUTES INTO FLIGHT, THE ENGINE CEASED OPERATION AND SIMUTANEOUSLY ILLUMINATED THE CHIP DETECTOR INDICATOR. THE CHIP DETECTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER WAS THEN REPORTED TO HAVE `POPPED`. AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO POINT OF DEPARTURE.  POST FLIGHT INSPECTION REVEALED SUBSTANTIAL INTERNAL ENGINE DISTRESS. THE CHIP DETECTOR HAD `POPPED` ON THE PREVIOUS FLIGHT AND HAD BEEN RESET.  MFG WILL INVESTIGATE THE EVENT AND ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE ESTABLISHED.
