## Discrepancy

(CAN) #2 ENGINE STARTER GENERATOR FAILED IN FLIGHT. THERE WAS A SLIGHT SMELL OF SMOKE IN THE COCKPIT PRIOR TO FAILURE. AFTER THE FAILURE THERE WAS A BRIEF FLICKER OF #2 ENGINE FIRE DETECTION LIGHT. THE RIGHT HAND GENERATOR LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. DUE TO THE INCREASE IN THE SMELL OF SMOKE THE GENERATOR AND THE RH BLEED AIR WAS TURNED OFF AND THE FLIGHT WAS COMPLETED WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEM.
