## Discrepancy

ON FLIGHT 3350 THE CREW REPORTED THE CAPTAIN’S FLASHLIGHT WAS INOPERABLE (CHARGING LIGHT SHOWS FLASHLIGHT CHARGING BUT FAILS TO ILLUMINATE).  THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE.  REMOVED AND REPLACED THE CAPTAIN’S FLASHLIGHT POWER UNIT IAW EMB AMM145 33-51-01.  THE OPERATIONAL CHECK WAS GOOD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
