## Discrepancy

ON DEPARTURE FROM KMEM ECAM DISPLAYED PITCH TRIM 2  FAULT, ATS LEVER TRIPPED , F/O LOST HIS FD.  PERFORMED ECAM PROC AND COULD NOT RESET PITCH  TRIM NR 2 ( NR1 PITCH TRIM ALREADY DEFERRED) OR ATS  LEVER. PERFORMED QRH PROC. DECLARED EMERGENCY AND  RETURNED TO KMEM.  LAST FLIGHT LEG FOUND 3 SEPARATE FAULTS, ALL WITH NOSE GEAR RELAY AS PRIMARY SUSPECTED FAULT. PER TSM ASM 22-20-00, THE FAC, FCC, AND TCC ALL HARE THE NOSE GEAR DISCRETE FROM THIS RELAY. THIS   WOULD EXPLAIN THE PITCH TRIM 2 FAULT, THE ATS LEVER TRIPPING, AND THE LOSS OF F/D. REMOVED AND REPLACED 96GB (NR 2 NOSE GEAR RELAY). REF: AWM 32-62-08 AND TSM 22-22-00.  PERFORMED AFS/LAND TEST REF AMM 22-40-00-05. ALL CHECKS INCLUDING FLIGHT DIRECTOR, PITCH TRIM, AND AUTOTHROTTLE WERE GOOD.
