## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE AT CRUISE AT FL70, THE ENGINE TORQUE DROPPED BELOW 600FT-LB WITH ASSOCIATED COCKPIT WARNING LIGHT. THE FLIGHT WAS DIVERTED FROM ITS INTENDED DESTINATION AND AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING WAS MADE. THE ENGINE WAS FWD WHERE DISASSEMBLY SHOWED A DISTRESSED NR 1 BEARING. THE BEARING WAS FWDED TO MFG FOR INVESTIGATION. THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE BEARING PREVENTED ASSESSMENT OF THE ROOT CAUSE FOR ITS DISTRESS.
