## Discrepancy

MAINTENANCE DISCREPANCY: THE PILOT REPORTED WHILE IN CRUISE FLIGHT TO KPDX THAT THE LEFT ENGINE WAS UNABLE TO REDUCE TORQUE POWER SETTINGS. THE PILOT FOLLOWING PROCEDURES ELECTED TO SHUT THE LEFT ENGINE DOWN AND DECLARED AN EMERGENCY AND THEN LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT IN KPDX.
MAINTENANCE CORRECTIVE ACTION: MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE LEFT ENGINE CONTROLS AND FOUND THAT THE LEFT PROPELLER RPM CONTROL CABLE HAD MIGRATED TO POSITION OF INTERFERENCE WITH THE FUEL CONTROL UNIT ARM RESTRICTING THE MOVEMENT.
