## Discrepancy

DEPARTED KELP, SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE CREW NOTICED A RH ENGINE CHIP DETECTOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THEY DECIDED TO RETURN TO ELP. ATI/JETVIA MAINTENANCE MET THE AIRCRAFT AND VERIFIED THE CHIP DETECTOR LIGHT WAS STILL ON. THE RH ENGINE CHIP DETECTOR WAS REMOVED AND INSPECTED. SMALL SOLID CARBON DEPOSITS WERE FOUND AT THE MAGNETIC POLES OF THE DETECTOR. THE PARTICLES WERE COLLECTED. P&W TECH SUPPORT WAS NOTIFIED AND THEIR RECOMMENDATION WAS TO SEND THE PARTICLES AND AN OIL SAMPLE FOR ANALYSIS  THE OIL FILTER WAS REMOVED FOR INSPECTION WITH NO CONTAMINANTS FOUND. AN OIL SAMPLE WAS COLLECTED. THE PARTICLES, FILTER AND OIL SAMPLE WERE SENT FOR ANALYSIS FOR PRECAUTIONARY PURPOSES. THE AIRCRAFT IS CURRENTLY OUT OF SERVICE UNTIL THE RESULTS ARE VERIFIED AND REVIEWED BY P&W.
