## Discrepancy

ON TAKEOFF FROM POA, THE NR 2 GENERATOR OVERHEAT LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  THE PIC DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND RETURNED TO POA WITHOUT INCIDENT.  THE A/C LANDED 100 LBS OVERWEIGHT WITH A SMOOTH LANDING.  AFTER LANDING AND TAXIING TO THE RAMP, THE RIGHT NACELLE WAS INSPECTED AND NO SIGNS OF FIRE WERE FOUND.  THE GENERATOR WAS CHANGED AND THE A/C RETURNED TO SERVICE.
