## Discrepancy

PRIOR TO OPS CHECK, FLIGHT TAKEOFF ENGINE CHIP LIGHT ILLUMINATED. FLIGHT WAS ABORTED. ALL DEFECTIVE INSPECTED AND METAL RECEIVED.  RUNS COMPLETED.  NO LIGHT . EVEN THOUGH FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL PENALTY RUNS AND NO LIGHT AFTER 1.5 HOURS OF FLIGHT CHECK IT WAS APPARENT THAT METAL WAS CONTINUED TO BE GENERATED. METAL ON MODULE 5 CHIP DETECTOR AND PICKUPS FOUND MODULE 5 REPLACED. NO FURTHER DEFECT NOTED. METAL GENERATION SO SHORTLY AFTER OVERHAUL IS A BIT UNUSUAL BUT WITH THIS MODULE, MAKING METAL IS EASILY IDENTIFIED BY METAL COLLECTING ON THE HIGHLY MAGNETIC PICKUPS AS WELL AS THE CHIP DETECTOR.
