## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE FROM TOL TO ATL, DURING CRUISE THE FLIGHT ENGINEER NOTICED A MARKED DECLINE IN THE NUMBER ONE ENGINE OIL QUANTITY.  THE CREW PERFORMED  A PRECAUTIONARY INFLIGHT SHUTDOWN IAW COMPANY PROCEDURES, AND CONTINUED TO ATL MAKING AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE ENGINE AND FOUND THE ENGINE HAD SUSTAINED A GROUND STRIKE WITH DAMAGE TO THE COWLINGS, AND THE TRANSFER GEARBOX  WAS ALSO IMPACTED.  THE AIRCRAFT IS CURRENTLY REMOVED FROM SERVICE FOR INSPECTION AND ENGINE REPLACEMENT AT THIS TIME.
