## Narrative

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

AT APPROXIMATELY 17,500 FEET, DURING CRUSIE PHASE OF FLIGHT, PILOT EXPERIENCED IRREGULAR BEHAVIOR WITH THE RIGHT ENGINE. ENGINE THROTTLE BECAME SLUGGISH AND THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE INCREASED.  PILOT MADE A DECISION TO SHUTDOWN ENGINE. FLIGHT CONTINUED TO DESTINATION (SUA) AND AIRCRAFT LANDED UNEVENTFULLY.

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.
