## Discrepancy

LEFT ENGINE FLAME OUT (SHUTDOWN) OCCURRED WHILE DESCENDING THROUGH APPROXIMATELY 18,000 FEET. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART IN FLIGHT. THE AIRPLANE WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE (GROUNDED) AND THE LEFT ENGINE'S MAIN ENGINE CONTROL (MEC), COMPRESSOR INLET TEMPERATURE (CIT) SENSOR, AND T2 SENSOR WERE REPLACED. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN WAS A FAULTY MEC, CIT SENSOR, AND/OR T2 SENSOR.
