## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMB THE L ENG FIRE LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  RETURNED TO 4A9 ON A PRECAUTION DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO VERIFY IF THE ENG WAS ON FIRE.  AFTER INSPECTION AND GROUND TEST IT WAS DETERMINED THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING CORRECTLY AND THAT THE L ENG FIRE LIGHT WAS PROBABLY CAUSED FROM THE SUNLIGHT ENTERING THE COWLING.
