## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING FLIGHT THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH WITH A LOSS OF POWER. THERE WAS ALSO THE SMELL OF FUEL. POST FLIGHT INSPECTION FOUND THE NR6 FUEL INJECTOR LINE BROKEN AT THE DISTRIBUTOR CENTRE OF THE ENGINE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS THE THROTTLE CONTROL COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE FUEL INJECTOR LINE.
