## Discrepancy

EN-ROUTE THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE RT ENG WAS LOSING POWER, THE OIL PRESS WAS DECREASING & THE OIL TEMPERATURE & CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE WERE INCREASING.  THE PILOT DECIDED TO PERFORM A PRECAUTIONARY SHUTDOWN OF THE RT ENG, AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN THE PILOT DECLARED AN EMER.  DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO RETURN, THE PILOT DECIDED TO CONTINUE & LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  TROUBLESHOOTING THIS DISCREPANCY, WE WILL FOLLOW UP AT A LATER TIME WITH THE CORRECTIVE ACTION.
