## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE HELICOPTER WAS LIFTING A LOAD, WHEN THE FREEWHEEL CLUTCH INSIDE THE COMBINING GEARBOX DECOUPLED OR DISENGAGED ON THE #2 ENGINE SIDE.  THE #2 ENGINE WENT TO FLIGHT IDLE.  THE PILOT RELEASED THE LOAD AND LANDED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  THE COMBINING GEARBOX WAS REMOVED AND SHIPPED TO A REPAIR STATION.
