## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE PILOT REPORTED THAT APPROX 30 MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT AT FL170, HEARD A LOUD NOISE. THE CO-PILOT NOTED FLAMES AND DEBRIS COMING FROM THE ENGINE EXHAUST STACK. AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED AND AIRCRAFT WAS DIVERTED TO FARMINGDALE, NY FOR A SINGLE ENGINE LANDING. POST EVENT INSPECTION REVEALED METAL IN THE EXHAUST AND A SEIZED PROPELLER. P&WC WILL CONTINUE INVESTIGATING THE EVENT AND ADVISE OF ROOT CAUSE ONCE ESTABLISHED.
