## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE PILOTS WERE TAXIING OUT TO THE RUNWAY TO TAKE OFF WHEN THEY GOT A L GEN FAIL CAS MESSAGE ALONG WITH A VIBRATION FROM THE LT ENGINE.  BOMBARDIER SERVICE TEAM WAS DISPATCHED AND THEY FOUND THAT THE LT GENERATOR HAD FAILED INTERNALLY.  THE GENERATOR WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW UNIT AND THE SYSTEM CHECKED OUT SERVICEABLE.
