## Narrative

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

(-23) ON APPROACH, APPROXIMATELY 6 MILES OUT, THE AIRCRAFT STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY. AFTER A COUPLE SECONDS THE RIGHT TORQUE GAUGE STARTED TO FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 20% AND 60%. SHUT DOWN THE RIGHT ENGINE AND VIOLENT SHAKING STOPPED. LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT, FOUND THE #4 PROPELLER BLADE NOT FEATHERED AS THE OTHERS, AND FREE TO MOVE WITHIN THE HUB.

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.
