## Discrepancy

THE PILOT DECIDED TO PERFORM A PRECAUTIONARY IN FLIGHT SHUTDOWN OF THE RT ENG, RETURNED & LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED A FAULTY RT ENG RT MAGNETO.  REPLACED THE RT ENG, RT MAGNETO.  PERFORMED ENG RUN & LEAK CHECKS.  ALL CHECKS WERE NORMAL, OBSERVED OIL PRESS ON THE RT ENG WAS NORMAL.
