## Discrepancy

THE PILOT STARTED THE ACFT ENG WITH THE INTENTION OF TAKEOFF, WHEN JUST BEFORE, HE OBTAINED AN ENG CHIP LIGHT.  THE MISSION WAS ABORTED & THE ACFT WAS SHUT DOWN.  TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM, FOUND THE ENG CHIP DETECTOR FULL OF METALLIC MATERIAL.  HE REFERRED TO THE MM & TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE FOR THE ENG.  IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.  THIS MAINTENANCE EVENT IS CURRENTLY IN WORK & THE ACFT REMAINS OUT OF SERVICE.
