## Discrepancy

ORF - FLT 471 - EN ROUTE LGA-RIC, AT FL180, THE NR 1 ENGINE THRUST REVERSER DEPLOY LIGHT CAME ON WHILE ON DESCENT, FOLLOWED BY PRONOUNCED BUFFETING.  THE NR 1 ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED.  THE FLIGHT DIVERTED TO ORF AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  TOTAL SINGLE ENGINE TIME WAS 8 MINUTES.
