## Discrepancy

(CAN) FLAMEOUT DURING DESCENT THROUGH FL98, EXITING ICING CONDITIONS AND ENTERING HEAVY RAINS, THE ENGINE FLAMED OUT, TORQUE WENT FROM APPROX. 21% DOWN TO 0 AND THE CREW FELT A YAW ON THE A/C. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY ENGINE AUTO RE-LIGHT AND THE FLIGHT RESUMED NORMALLY. POST FLIGHT INSPECTION FOUND MOISTURE INSIDE THE AUTOFEATHER UNIT (AFU) CONNECTOR. THE CONNECTOR WAS DRIED AND THE AFU REPLACED BEFORE THE A/C WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. (TC# 20101229005)
