## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT TO EVENT, THE PILOT STATED THAT THE TRANS CHIP LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  CHECKED PRESS & TEMPERATURE GAUGES & THEY WERE IN THE NORMAL RANGE.  DIVERTED TO THE NEAREST SUITABLE LANDING LOCATION & CALLED FOR THE MECHANIC.  WHEN THE MECHANIC ARRIVED, HE TURNED ON POWER & THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A CHIP LIGHT.  HE THEN INSPECTED & CLEANED ALL CHIP DETECTORS & FOUND NOTHING ABNORMAL.  THE ACFT WAS THEN RETURNED TO SERVICE.
