## Discrepancy

IFSD DURING CRUISE, NP SPEED INCREASED SUDDENLY, WITH CORRESPONDING TORQUE DECREASE.  ACFT LANDED IMMEDIATELY, UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  SOME CONNECTORS WERE FOUND LOOSE AND FULL OF OIL.  ON A SUBSEQUENT FLIGHT, THE SAME HAPPENED (HIGH NP, LOW TQ) BUT THIS TIME THE CREW ELECTED TO SHUTDOWN THE ENGINE AND CONTINUED TO THE PLANNED DESTINATION.  SHORTLY BEFORE LANDING, A FIRE WARNING ANNUNCIATED, ACFT LANDED UNEVENTFULLY.  PRELIMINARY INSP REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF FIRE.
