## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING FLIGHT, VIBRATIONS WERE FELT WHICH THE PILOT TRACED BACK TO NR 2 ENGINE. HE REDUCED POWER BUT JUST BEFORE LANDING, THE ENGINE FLAMED OUT.  AN UNEVENTFUL SINGLE ENGINE LANDING WAS ACCOMPLISHED.  POST FLIGHT INSPECTION SHOWED AN INOPERATIVE STARTER GENERATOR AND A BROKEN CLAMP AND BRACKET AS WELL AS A FUEL LEAK ON THE LINE TO THE FUEL CONTROL. REPAIRS ARE UNDER WAY.
