What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While in cruise, 20 miles north of the gorman VORTAC, the pilot of N1927T noticed sparks coming from the exhaust on the right engine. Soon after that, he saw engine gauges starting to show that the performance was deteriorating on that engine. He elected to shut down the engine, and feather the prop. The aircraft landed at bur (its destination) without any further incident. Upon inspection by maintenance personnel, several dents and one hole were found in the right engine cowl, caused by debris from the right engine compressor section. Several metal chunks were found in the bottom of the cowling from the same area. Using a mirror, damage could be seen o n the first stage compressor blades. The operator has submitted a service difficulty report (SDR) and will follow up with a malfunction or defect report after they get a tear down report from the engine facility
