## Discrepancy

WHILE IN CRUISE, THE PILOT NOTED A RAPID DROP IN FUEL QUANTITY INDICATION.  SHORTLY THERE AFTER THE LEFT ENGINE LOST POWER.  FOLLOWED BY A RT ENGINE POWER LOSS TWO MINUTES LATER.  A SUCCESSFUL LANDING WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  CURRENTLY THIS INCIDENT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION.
