## Discrepancy

(CAN) SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE PILOT REDUCED POWER TO CLIMB SETTING, A SERIES OF SURGES WERE HEARD ACCOMPANIED BY ENGINE TEMPERATURE AT MAX. GAGE DEFLECTION (ABOVE 800° C).  POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE ENGINE EEC WENT TO MANUAL AND THE TEMPERATURE REDUCED. AS POWER WAS RE-APPLIED, VIBRATIONS WERE FELT AND AN ODOR ENTERED THE COCKPIT.  THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND AN UNEVENTFUL SINGLE ENGINE LANDING WAS MADE AT THE DEPARTURE POINT.  TROUBLESHOOTING FOUND A FAULTY COMPRESSOR BLEED VALVE.  MFG WILL INVESTIGATE TO ESTABLISH ROOT CAUSE AND SUPPLEMENT THE REPORT ONCE THE INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE.  (TC 20100216007)
