## Discrepancy

THE FIRE LOOP DETECTOR LIGHT BEGAN TO FLICKER WHILE EN ROUTE.  ABNORMAL PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED AND TEST INDICATED NR 1 ENGINE FIRE.  THE NR 1 ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED TO IDLE AND THE FIRE LIGHT EXTINGUISHED.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF FIRE.  MAINTENANCE FOUND ENGINE ANTI-ICE DUCTS HAD WORN GASKETS.  THE GASKETS WERE REPLACED AND LEAK CHECKS WERE GOOD.
