## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING TEST FLIGHT, AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE FRESHLY O/H P/S, DURING AN AUTO-ROTATION MANEUVER,  THE PILOT HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND RECEIVED A CHIP DETECTOR WARNING.  HE WAS ABLE TO SAFELY LAND THE ACFT.  POST FLIGHT INSPECTION FOUND THE P/S GAS GENERATOR CASE SPLIT OPEN WITH FRAGMENTS HAVING EXITED THE ENGINE AND DAMAGING THE ENGINE DECK.  THE ENGINE WILL BE REMOVED AND FORWARDED TO MFG FOR INVESTIGATION.
