## Discrepancy

(CAN) FLAG CAME INTO VIEW IN PILOTS ENCODING ALTIMETER AND NEEDLE FROZE. RETURNED TO NORMAL MOMENTS LATER. MAINT WAS NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE SNAG. THERE IS AN SDR 20070914001 PERTAINING TO THE SAME DEFECT ON THIS SN UNIT, AS INSTALLED IN A DIFFERENT PC12. THE REPAIR REPORT AT THAT TIME INDICATED THE DEFECT HAD BEEN CONFIRMED AND REPAIRED. (TC NR 20080221013)
