## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: FLIGHT #6421 FROM ORF TO IAD. AT 2115 ON CLIMB-OUT, #2 ENGINE TORQUE BEGAN TO FLUCTUATE 20-30%. MOMENTS LATER, #1 ENGINE DID AN UN-COMMANDED SHUTDOWN WITH NO AUTO-FEATHER. THE CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE #1 FUEL CONTROL AND THE #2 ECU AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE MANUFACTURER. THE AIRCRAFT IS UNDERGOING FURTHER TESTING BY THE AIRCRAFT AND ENGINE MANUFACTURER.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
