## Discrepancy

5 MILES SOUTH OF AIRPORT, THE ENG FIRE LIGHT ILLUMINATED FOR 2 - 3 SECONDS.  CONTINUED & LANDED WITHOUT  INCIDENT.  THE AREA SOUTH HAD NO SUITABLE LANDING AREAS & THE ENG FIRE REMAINED OFF FOR THE DURATION OF THE FLIGHT.  NO FURTHER ISSUES WITH THE ACFT WERE NOTED.  CHECKED EACH DETECTORS OHMS & WERE FOUND TO BE WITHIN LIMITS.  HE CHECKED ALL THE CONNECTIONS AT EACH FIRE DETECTOR, CLEANED ENG DECK CONNECTOR & APPLIED STABILANT 22 TO THE PINS & CONNECTED PLUG.  AN OPERATIONAL CHECK FLIGHT WAS COMPLETED, NO DEFECTS WERE NOTED.  ACFT FLEW BACK WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DEFECTS.
