## Discrepancy

APPROX 30 MINUTES INTO FLIGHT, WHILE CRUISING AT 17,000 MSL, RT ENGINE MADE UNUSUAL NOISE, FLAMES WERE SEEN FROM EXHAUST DUCTS, ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN.  CREW DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND MADE AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  ASSISTANCE WAS REQUIRED DUE TO DIFFICULTY WHILE TAXING ON ONE ENGINE.  FAILURE IS BELIEVED TO BE CONTAINED IN THE POWER SECTION OF THE ENGINE.  IT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME WHICH COMPONENT MAY HAVE FAILED. UPON REMOVAL OF ENGINE FURTHER INVESTIGATION WILL BE PERFORMED.
