## Discrepancy

DURING B INSPECTION FOUND THE CAPTAIN’S FLASHLIGHT INOPERABLE- CRADLE LOOSE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE FLASHLIGHT & CRADLE ASSEMBLY PER EMB AMM 33-50-16-000-801-A AND 33-50-16-400-801-A USING NEW HARDWARE AS REQUIRED FOR SECURE INSTALLATION.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
