## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB-OUT, LT TAIL PIPE OVERHEAT LIGHT ILLUMINATED RETURNED TO AIRPORT, LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION DID NOT REVEAL ANY PHYSICAL OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE TAIL PIPE HEAT DETECTION SYSTEM.  AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE ALL THREE OVERHEAT PROBES WERE CHANGED.  NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WERE NOTED.
