## Discrepancy

(CAN) ACFT SUFFERED A RT GENERATOR FAILURE ON DECENT. THE GENERATOR FAIL LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN THE COCKPIT BUT NO ADVERSE RESULTS FROM THE FAILURE OCCURED.  MX REPLACED THE GENERATOR FOR INSP AND FOUND THAT THE REAR SUPPORT BRG HAD FAILED, MOST LIKLEY DUE TO OVERHEATING OR POOR LUBRICATION. THIS BRG IS SEALED AND CANNOT BE SERVICED IN THE FIELD.
