## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING CRUISE AT FL200, THE PILOT NOTED THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE RAPIDLY RAISING TO 850°C WITH POWER TURBINE SPEED DECREASING. HE ELECTED TO SHUT THE ENGINE DOWN AND PERFORMED A SUCCESSFUL DEAD STICK LANDING.  POST FLIGHT ENGINE EXAMINATION REVEALED HEAVY RUBBING DAMAGE IN THE COMPRESSOR SECTION. MANUFACTURER WILL CONTINUE INVESTIGATING THE EVENT AND ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE ESTABLISHED.
