## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE FOLLOWING HAS BEEN REPORTED TO MFG:  IN-FLIGHT SHUTDOWN. THE ACFT MADE A SAFE LANDING AND NO ADDITIONAL DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE ACFT OR PERSONNEL.  THE LOWER SHROUD ON THE FMM CRACKED AROUND 1 OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL FITTINGS WHICH GOES INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE FMM.  THE WEIGHT OF THE FUEL HOSE AND FLANGE CAUSED THE TRANSFER TUBE TO SEPARATE FROM THE FMM, CUTTING OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY TO THAT ENGINE.
