## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING THE APPROACH SPARKS WERE OBSERVED COMING FROM THE LT PROPELLER SPINNER.  THE CAUTION LIGHT PANEL & THE BLADE ANTI-ICING SYSTEM WAS CHECKED BY THE FLIGHT CREW & NO ABNORMALITIES WERE DETECTED.  MAINTENANCE CREW FOUND A LEAD BURN OUT FROM THE LT NR 2 BLADE.  THE PROPELLER ASSEMBLY WAS INSPECTED, THE NR 2 BLADE LEADS WERE REPLACED.  THE SYS TESTED SERVICEABLE & THE ACFT RELEASED INTO SERVICE.
