FLIGHT: SMOKE IN CABIN, DURING SLOW CRUISE FLIGHT OVER FIRE TRAFFIC AREA, PERFORMED QRH ITEMS, REMOVED SMOKE FROM CABIN. DEPARTED THE FTA TO KCDC LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER PROBLEMS. MX: TROUBLESHOT SMOKE IN CABIN TO BE COMING FROM R/H ENGINE. EXACT CAUSE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.

ENROUTE TO THE BEULAH INCIDENT, APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES EAST OF HIF, THE PYLON 3 OVHT LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE MWP. THE ENGINES WERE SET TO CLIMB THRUST OF 800 TGT WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. WE COMPLETED THE QRH PROCEDURE FOR PYLON OVERHEAT AND TURNED TOWARD THE NEAREST JETTISON AREA. THE QRH PROCEDURE DIRECTED THAT WE COULD CONTINUE ENGINE OPERATION AT A RESTRICTED THRUST SETTING TO KEEP THE CAPTION OUT. WE LEFT THE ENGINE AT FLIGHT IDLE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FLIGHT. WE NOTIFIED DISPATCH AND HILL TANKER BASE. WE DECLARED AN EMERGENCY WITH HIF TOWER AND SALT LAKE APPROACH. JETTISON AND LANDING WERE NORMAL AND UNEVENTFUL. LOCATED AIR LEAKAGE FROM AN UNSEATED DUCT AND LOOSE V-BAND CLAMPS BOTH UPSTREAM & DOWNSTREAM OF THE BLEED AIR COOLER ON PYLON#3. REPLACED V-BAND (P/N: B38C37) ON FWD END OF VENTURI DUCT CONNECTOR AND REPLACE BOTH CRUSH SEALS & UPSTREAM PERI SEALS (P/N 706-3-250) AT BLEED AIR COOLER ATTACHMENT COUPLING DURING REASSEMBLY OF DISTURBED DUCTING. OPS CHECK GOOD. NO LEAKS NOTED.

PILOT REPORT: WE WERE ORBITING THE FIRE AT 10,500' IN A RIGHT TURN, WITH BOTH ENGINES STABILIZED AT 200 HORSEPOWER EACH AND FUEL FLOWS AT 200 LBS./HR. EACH WHEN I FELT A YAWING MOTION THAT I INITIALLY THOUGHT WAS WAKE TURBULENCE. LOOKING AT THE ENGINE INSTRUMENTS I QUICKLY NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT ENGINE HORSEPOWER WAS READING ZERO, THE RIGHT ENGINE ITT WAS DECREASING THROUGH 300 DEGREES CENTIGRADE, AND THE RIGHT ENGINE RPM WAS DECREASING THROUGH 30%. I INFORMED THE ATGS AND THE ATGS TRAINEE THAT WE HAD LOST THE RIGHT ENGINE, AND WOULD BE STARTING A TURN TOWARDS ELKO, NEVADA, OUR NEAREST RECOVERY AIRPORT. AFTER STABILIZING THE AIRCRAFT I ENGAGED THE AUTOPILOT AND RAN THE QRH ITEMS FOR ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT. WITH THE ENGINE SECURED, AND NOT NOTICING ANY ERRATIC OR UNUSUAL ENGINE INDICATIONS BEFORE OR DURING THE FAILURE I DECIDED TO ATTEMPT A RELIGHT. I ACCOMPLISHED THE ENGINE RELIGHT PROCEDURE IN THE QRH AND THE ENGINE RESTARTED UNEVENTFULLY. WE LANDED UNEVENTFULLY 20 MINUTES LATER IN ELKO WITH BOTH ENGINES OPERATING NORMALLY. NO EMERGENCY DECLARED.

WHILE PERFORMING ZONE 4 INSPECTION OF SB 244, FOUND CRACKS IN UPPER FRAME AT FS 386 IN BOTH PASS THROUGH HOLES.

WHILE PERFORMING ZONE 4 INSPECTION OF SB 244, FOUND CRACKS IN UPPER FRAME AT FS 386 IN BOTH PASS THROUGH HOLES.

DURING 150 HOUR INSPECTION MECHANIC FOUND SIGNIFICANTLY FRAYED RUDDER INTERCONNECT CABLE. UPON INSTALLATION OF NEW CABLE AND NEW PULLEY IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A PREVIOUS REPAIR ON A PULLEY BRACKET HID THE ORIGINAL CABLE GUARD PIN HOLE. PRIOR MAINTENANCE INSTALLED THE CABLE GUARD PIN IN A DIFFERENT HOLE IN THE BRACKET CAUSING THE CABLE TO WEAR ON THE PIN. CORRECTIVE ACTION-DRILLED ORIGINAL HOLE IN REPAIR BRACKET AND INSTALLED PIN IN CORRECT LOCATION. EDGE DISTANCE MAINTAINED ON ALL FASTENERS. OPS CHECK GOOD. NO DEFECTS NOTED.
