## Discrepancy

MCO  FLT 1576  EN ROUTE FLL TO CLT - DURING ORIGINATION OF FLIGHT, THE NUMBER ONE GENERATOR FAILED.  THE FLIGHT CONTINUED WITH THE APU GENERATOR ON-LINE, AND ALTITUDE RESTRICTIONS.  WHILE STILL SOUTH OF MCO, THE APU AUTO-SHUTDOWN WITH AN -LP FUEL VALVE FAULT-.  THE FLIGHT DIVERTED TO MCO AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE NUMBER ONE ENGINE IDG AND THE APU LO OIL PRESSURE SWITCH.  OPERATIONALLY AND LEAK CHECKED OK.
