## Discrepancy

DURING CRUISE FLIGHT, THE LEFT ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE INDICATION ROSE TO 145 DEGREES.  THE FLIGHT CREW FOLLOWED COM PROCEDURES, DECLARED AN EMERGENCY, SHUT DOWN THE LEFT ENGINE PRECAUTIONARY, AND LANDED AT MEM WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE DETERMINED THIS TO BE AN INDICATION PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE CANNON PLUG AT THE LEFT ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE INDICATION SENSOR.  OPERATIONAL CHECK NORMAL.
