## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON APPROACH, THE LT ENG PWR LEVER WAS RETARDED WITH NO EFFECT ON ENG. THE ENG REMAINED AT 91 PERCENT NG. THE APPROACH WAS ABORTED AND THE ACFT DIVERTED. ON ARRIVAL, AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND THE LT WAS SHUTDOWN IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THE LANDING. MX INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THE INPUT SHAFT ON THE FCU WAS VERY STIFF, THE FCU WAS REPLACED AND THE ACFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
