## Discrepancy

DURING APPROACH, PILOT NOTICED RT ENG T HANDLE ILLUMINATED, PILOT FOLLOWED ENG FIRE INFLIGHT CHECKLIST & DISCHARGED ENG FIRE EXTINGUISHER.  T HANDLE DID NOT EXTINGUISH AFTER TWENTY SECONDS, AT THAT POINT PILOT PERFORMED RT ENG SHUTDOWN IAW PILOTS OPERATING HANDBOOK.  PILOT DECLARED AN EMER & LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  INSPECTED & FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF FIRE, SUSPECT A FALSE FIRE INDICATION.  INSPECTED & TESTED THE RT ENG FIRE DETECTION SYS, NO DEFECTS NOTED.  REPLACED FIRE EXTINGUISHER BOTTLE & RINSED ENG AS REQUIRED.
