## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT, PILOT NOTICED THE RT FIRE PULL, HANDLE ILLUMINATED, THE PILOT FOLLOWED THE CHECKLIST PROCEDURES IN THE FLIGHT MANUAL & PERFORMED AN INFLIGHT SHUT DOWN OF THE RT ENG.  THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMER, RETURNED & LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  INSPECTED THE RT ENG & FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF A FIRE.  TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED AN EXHAUST LEAK FROM THE RT INBD EXHAUST STACK MOUNTING FLANGE THAT WAS DIRECTING HOT EXHAUST ON THE FIRE LOOP.  REMOVED STACK & REINSTALLED WITH NEW HARDWARE.  GND RUNS & AN OPERATIONAL CHECK FLIGHT WERE PERFORMED.  FIRE DETECTION INDICATION ON THE RT ENG WAS NORMAL.
