## Discrepancy

(CAN)ON THE 100 HOUR INSPECTION, BOTH MAGNETOS HAD BEEN CHECKED FOR CONDITION AND TIMING AS CALLED FOR IN THE CESSNA INSPECTION PROGRAM AND A POST INSPECTION RUN-UP DONE WITH ALL ENGINE PARAMETERS FOUND NORMAL. ON THE FIRST FLIGHT AFTER INSPECTION, A POWER LOSS OCCURRED AT 900 FEET IN THE CLIMB WHICH NECESSITATED AN EMERGENCY LANDING. MAGNETO POINTS CAM FOLLOWER EXCESSIVELY WORN.
