## Discrepancy

(CAN) FLAMEOUT DURING DESCENT IN ICING CONDITIONS, THE ENGINE FLAMED OUT FOR APPROX. 3 SEC. AND THEN AUTO RE-LIT. ALL PARAMETERS WERE NORMAL AFTER THE RE-LIGHT AND THE A/C LANDED AT DESTINATION SAFELY. GROUND INSPECTION FOUND MOISTURE IN THE AUTOFEATHER UNIT (AFU) CHARACTERIZATION PLUG. THE PLUG WAS DRIED AND THE AFU REPLACED BEFORE THE A/C WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. (TC# 20101219002)
