## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT REPORTED LOSS OF LPV APPROACH.   DURING INSPECTION/INVESTIGATION, FOUND THE RF CABLE CONNECTORS ON BOTH GPS ANTENNAS TO BE UNSERVICEABLE. THE NUT HAD SEPARATED FROM THE BODY OF THE CONNECTOR SO THAT THE CONNECTOR NUT COULD BE TIGHT, BUT NOT RETAIN THE MAIN CONNECTOR-GIVING AN NON-SECURE AND INTERMITTENT CONTACT.
