## Discrepancy

EN ROUTE FROM PKWA TO PHIK DURING CLIMB, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE NUMBER TWO ENGINE, ACCOMPANIED BY INCREASING ENGINE GAS TEMPERATURE AND A DECLINE IN OIL PRESSURE.  THE FLIGHT CREW SECURED THE ENGINE FOLLOWING COMPANY PROCEDURES AND CONTINUED TO PHIK FOR AN UNEVENTFUL LANDING.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE ENGINE WITH TURBINE BLADE DISCREPANCIES NOTED IN THE EXHAUST AREA.  THE ENGINE WILL BE REPLACED PRIOR TO THE AIRCRAFT RETURNING TO SERVICE.
