## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE INCREASING POWER FOR CLIMB, THE PILOT NOTICED AN ITT OVERTEMP INDICATION. AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO AIRPORT UNDER REDUCED POWER TO REMAIN BELOW MAXIMUM CONTINUOUS ITT. MAINTENANCE SPLIT THE ENGINE AND FOUND THAT A SHROUD SEGMENT HAD SHIFTED AND CONTACTED THE COMPRESSOR TURBINE BLADES CAUSING CONSIDERABLE LOSS OF BLADE TIP MATERIAL AND DISCOLORATION. ENGINE REMOVED FOR OVERHAUL AND FURTHER INVESTIGATION.
