## Discrepancy

ENROUTE, THE LT GEN FAILED, WITH PERCEPTIBLE VIBRATION.  SECURED THE GEN & CONTINUED THE FLIGHT.  WHILE ON APPROACH, AS POWER WAS REDUCED, THE LT ENG FAILED.  DECLARED AN EMER.  THE LANDING & TAXI TO THE RAMP WAS UNEVENTFUL & REQUIRED NO EMER ASSISTANCE.  A CRACKED & SEPARATED FUEL TUBE BETWEEN THE FUEL CONTROL & THE FLOW DIVIDER WAS ALSO FOUND DURING MX INVESTIGATION.  IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THE CRACK WAS CAUSED BY THE FAILED GEN VIBRATION.
