## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE ENGINE EMITTED A LOUD NOISE ACCOMPANIED BY SPARKS FROM THE EXHAUST.  THE ENGINE WAS SECURED IN FLIGHT AND A DEAD-STICK LANDING CARRIED OUT.  SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION REVEALED FRACTURED POWER TURBINE BLADES AND SEIZURE OF THE POWER SECTION.  P&WC WILL INVESTIGATE THIS EVENT AND ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE DETERMINED.
