## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE ENGINE SUFFERED AN IN-FLIGHT SHUT-DOWN RESULTING IN A FORCED LANDING.  SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION FOUND BIRD REMAINS IN THE ENGINE INLET AND HIGH PRESSURE COMPRESSOR.  FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED A FRACTURED COMPRESSOR TURBINE BLADE.  P&WC WILL INVESTIGATE THE BLADE FRACTURE AND WILL ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE DETERMINED.
