## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED AN UNCOMMANDED INFLIGHT SHUTDOWN FOLLOWING POWER REDUCTION FOR DESCENT.  A RELIGHT ATTEMPT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION REVEALED A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL CONTROL UNIT.  MFG WILL INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT AND WILL SUPPLIMENT THIS REPORT TO REFLECT ROOT CAUSE, ONCE ESTABLISHED.
