## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, ENG CHIP DETECTOR CAUTION CAPSULE FLICKERED.  RETURNED TO BASE & SHUT DOWN.  BY SHUT DOWN, CHIP LIGHT WAS STEADY.  THE MECHANIC ARRIVED & INSPECTED THE SYS,  HE COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY ANOMALIES IN THE SYS.  HE CLEANED THE CHIP PLUGS OF SOME CARBON BUILDUP BUT NO METAL PARTICLES FOUND.  PERFORMED A GND RUN WITH NO DEFECTS NOTED.  THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE AT THIS TIME.
